Maruti Driving School Women and Driving Maruti & Road Safety   Institute of Driving & Traffic Research (IDTR)   With the launch of IDTRs, Maruti Suzuki introduced world class driving training facilities to India. These include scientifically laid-out driving tracks, advanced computer simulators and a theory module for class room training. IDTR at Loni, started in 2000 in collaboration with the Delhi government, is spread over 14.6 acres. It caters primarily to commercial vehicle drivers. In 2006, the second IDTR was set up at Sarai Kale Khan, South Delhi to focus on personal car and Light Motor Vehicle drivers. We have recently added two IDTR's one in Uttrakhand and another at Gujarat. Taking a step forward the Institute at Vadodra ( Gujarat) will not only impart driving training and contribute to road safety, it will also offer automobile technical training to Gujarat¿s tribal and under-privileged youth to strengthen their employability. For the future, Maruti Suzuki will continue its endeavor and plans to set up more IDTR's in partnerships with other state governments across the country.
