Mahindra Logistics, the largest 3PL solutions providers in the Indian logistics industry, has initiated a special training programme to sensitise, train and empower drivers across India about safety and security. The training programme will be conducted as a part of Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMVKY).
Mahindra Logistics endeavors to train 10,000 drivers across the country. This skill and certification aims to enable and mobilise a large number of drivers to drive responsibly, understand vehicle condition and statutory compliances, safe driving in diverse conditions, behavioral training, stress management and communication. The defensive driver training will sensitise the importance of safe driving and improve the driving skills of driver partners.
Under this initiative, Mahindra Logistics with Nidan Technologies, the empaneled agency by the Government, will impart training of defensive driving to improve the driving skills of its driver partners and anticipate situations while driving. The program will help to enhance the skill of the drivers and get practical knowledge through classroom sessions with the experts and will be certified by the Government.
Pirojshaw Sarkari, CEO of Mahindra Logistics, said, “At Mahindra Logistics, we believe that drivers are the key spokes in our business ecosystem and are the ones who ensure that material and people are always kept moving no matter whatever is the situation. As a specialised service provider pursuant to managing end-to-end logistics activities, it is our duty and responsibility to make sure that they are safe. This initiative would not only train them in safe driving but will also help them upgrade their skills.”
