Women will be trained to drive e-rickshaws, jeeps, cars etc. Not only this they are being trained for management of vehicles too, for example in cases of tyre puncture etc. </p>

<p>Meet the lady behind this, Archana Mishra. Archana Mishra is an RTO officer. She lost her leg in an accident, so she cannot walk. The idea of the initiative was to strengthen women and make them self-dependent. She says, training of the first batch will be completed by 14 February and soon they will be given placements. </p>
