The state government had submitted that many people in the region possess the required skill but not the required educational qualification, and were finding it difficult to obtain driving license. \u00a0Hence it was felt that driving being more a matter of skill than of educational competence, the condition of minimum educational qualification acts as a hindrance for the otherwise eligible unemployed youth. The removal of this requirement will open up employment opportunities for a large number of unemployed persons, especially the youth in the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, <em>while removing the requirement of a minimum educational qualification, the Ministry has strongly emphasized upon training and skill testing of drivers so that road safety is not compromised in any way. Anyone applying for a driving license will have to mandatorily pass a stringent skill test. The Ministry has emphasized that training imparted by a school or establishment as mentioned in the the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 should ensure that the driver can read signs and perform logistical duty such as maintenance of driver logs, inspection of trucks and trailers, submission of pre-trip and post-trip records, determination of discrepancies in paperwork, effective communication to report safety hazards.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Ministry had already proposed the removal of the requirement for educational qualification in the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Bill that got passed by the previous Lok Sabha. The subject was also deliberated upon by the Standing Committee and \u00a0Select committee of the Parliament.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In light of the above, the Ministry of Road Transport &amp; highways has initiated the process of amendment to Rule 8 of Central Motor Vehicles 1989 and the draft notification in this regard will be issued soon.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p
