India's Apollo Tyres has set up a training centre for heavy and light commercial vehicle (CV) drivers in Ujjain City, Madhya Pradesh. In partnership with B-Able, a not-for-profit organisation, the focus of the centre will be on the dual areas of imparting a complete education to equip young aspirants with all aspects of road and vehicle safety and maintenance, along with promoting a holistic approach to health and well-being. The latter stems from the fact that India has the second highest CV accident rate in the world because drivers push themselves to spend long hours on the road, neglecting basic rest and health needs. The Ujjain Centre will train 200 drivers/year.
