The department's effort to aid road safety don't just stop at stringent compliance-check of the rules for the road. The Haryana Transport Department has established 3 Institutes of Driving Training and Research (IDTR) at Bahadurgarh, Rohtak and Kaithal to noy only help increase road safety, but also provide training to drivers. A spokesman for the department said 43,438 drivers were trained in 2014-15, while 34,080 were trained during the April 1, 2015 - October 31, 2015 period.
Additionally, another IDTR is being set up in Bhiwani, while the proposal for yet another IDTR in Mewat district has been sent to Union Government.
Other than the IDTRs, a motor vehicles' inspection and certification centre with fully automated and computerised machines is also being set up at Rohtak. The spokesman added the aforementioned centre will allow the state to improve road worthiness of motor vehicles.
