In a bid to celebrate ‘Driver’s Day’, Mahindra Truck and Bus Division (MTBD) has announced scholarships for the daughters of truck drivers through the Mahindra Saarthi Abhiyaan.
The company has planned to felicitate each girl (who has studied and passed the 10th standard and is pursuing further education in FY24) selected for this scholarship by direct bank transfer of INR 10,000 and a certificate in recognition of this achievement.
The felicitation will be hosted in Feb-Mar’24 at select locations by Mahindra Truck and Bus leadership India, wherein 1,100 scholarships will be awarded to truck drivers’ daughters.
Jalaj Gupta, Business Head – Commercial Vehicles, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., said that Mahindra Saarthi Abhiyaan is committed to empowering women in the commercial vehicle ecosystem and aims to improve the lives of the driver community.
The initiative was started in 2014, and the initial outreach was conducted through a reach-out programme at 75 transport hubs across India and a defined, transparent, and independent process. Until now, 8,928 young girls have already benefited from scholarships under the initiative, allowing them to pursue their aspirations.
