Chandigarh, April 4 – Haryana’s Transport Minister Sh. Anil Vij said that administrative approval has been accorded for approximately ₹11.49 crore to establish a “Driving Training and Research Institute” (IDTR) and an “Automated Vehicle Testing Station” (ATS) in Ambala Cantonment.
Sh. Vij said that with the approval of funds, the “Driving Training and Research Institute and Automated Vehicle Testing Station” will soon be set up on 13 acres, 5 kanal, and 4 marla of land in Shahpur, Ambala.
The Transport Minister said that the establishment of these facilities will create direct and indirect employment opportunities for hundreds of people. He added that through this institute, thousands of trained youth from nearby districts will be further skilled and made more proficient. Additionally, the Automated Vehicle Testing Station will conduct fitness checks for approximately 300 vehicles per week.
Transport Minister Anil Vij also said that he aims to make transport facilities in Haryana more efficient and accessible, and continuous efforts are being made to deliver services to the public using modern technological methods.
*Benefits of Driving Training and Research Institute (IDTR)*
It is noteworthy that Driving Training and Research Institutes (IDTRs) are special centers established by the government to promote road safety and teach modern driving skills. Their key features include scientific training, advanced simulators, automated driving tracks, and comprehensive courses for different types of vehicles (light and heavy). These institutes focus on safe driving and reducing accidents.
*Benefits of Automated Vehicle Testing Station (ATS)*
Automated Vehicle Testing Stations use machines to conduct vehicle fitness tests. After testing, vehicles receive a fitness certificate that is valid across the country. These stations help reduce road accidents, as vehicles that fail the test are not issued a fitness certificate and are not allowed to operate on roads. All technical aspects of vehicles are thoroughly examined during the testing process.

*Power is a Means for Development, Not Gain; Antyodaya and Cultural Nationalism Are BJP’s True Identity: Energy Minister Anil Vij*
*Upliftment of the Last Person Is Our Goal; Workers in My City Are Always Ready for Every Duty: Anil Vij*
*Digitization of Government Services Ensures Full Transfer of Benefits to Beneficiaries: Anil Vij*
Chandigarh, April 4 – Haryana’s Energy, Transport and Labour Minister, Anil Vij said that the Bharatiya Janata Party organizes training camps to ensure that party workers clearly understand the party’s ideology and policies. He emphasized that the BJP is fundamentally rooted in the principles of Antyodaya (upliftment of the last person) and cultural nationalism. He further highlighted that the party’s vision includes Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and good governance.
He underlined that for the BJP, attaining power is not about personal gain but about driving development.
Anil Vij was addressing BJP workers at a training workshop held under the Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Training Mega Campaign at Aggarwal Dharamshala in Ambala Cantonment.

*Deendayal Upadhyaya’s Ideology Guides the Party*
He described Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya as a great thinker and political inspiration. Referring to his philosophy of Integral Humanism, Vij said it promotes balanced development of body, mind, and soul, along with inclusive progress across all sections of society. He explained that Antyodaya means prioritizing the upliftment of the most deprived, ensuring that those left behind in development are brought forward to stand alongside the rest of society.
*Digitization Ensures Transparency and Full Benefit Transfer*
Sh.Vij highlighted that bureaucratic red tape has been reduced through digitization at both central and state levels. Today, many government services are technology-driven.He pointed out that if ₹100 is allocated to a beneficiary, the entire amount now reaches their account directly.

*Abrogation of Article 370*
He said that after independence, Jammu & Kashmir was granted special status due to earlier political decisions. Referring to Syama Prasad Mookerjee’s opposition to this, Vij noted that the BJP government eventually revoked Article 370, fully integrating Jammu & Kashmir with the rest of India.
*Ram Temple Construction Under PM Modi’s Leadership*
Sh.Vij said that the long-standing demand for the Ram Temple in Ayodhya has been fulfilled under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership. He recalled his own involvement in the movement and said that today, millions of devotees are visiting the temple.
*End of Corruption in Jobs and Transfers*
He emphasized that the BJP government has eliminated corruption in recruitment and transfers in the state. Earlier, money and influence were required, but now many people are getting government jobs without any such practices.He also noted the abolition of triple talaq, calling it a relief for Muslim women, and highlighted the effective implementation of schemes like Ayushman Bharat and other welfare initiatives benefiting all sections of society.
