As part of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, Hyundai Motor India Ltd., honoured 19 drivers who completed their training at the newly formed ?Hyundai Driving School? in Chennai.
This driving school, set up under the aegis of Hyundai Motor India Foundation (HMIF), aims to provide driver training which will lead to livelihood opportunities for the economically backward youth in the villages around the factory.
With an annual investment of Rs.12 lakh, towards the operation of the ?Driving School? which is located within the factory premises, Hyundai Motor India Foundation (HMIF), plans to accommodate 4 batches of trainees every year and aims to train around 100 youth to be disciplined drivers.
Speaking on the occasion, S.Ganapathy, Advisor HMIF, HMIL remarked, ?HMIL has long felt that there is a great need to train drivers and help promote road safety and reduce instances of road accidents. This school will teach potential drivers not only how to drive safely but also familiarize them in matters of road rules and driving etiquette. We feel that such schools will go a long way in making our roads safer while at the same time it will offer employment opportunities for the rural youth in and around our factory.?
