AI SummaryMadhya Pradesh Transport Department is running Motor Vehicle Driver-Conductor Welfare Scheme for registered drivers and conductors who lose their earning capacity after a road accident. Under this part of the scheme, a driver or conductor with permanent disability gets free skill training so that he can start some other work. Registration is open through the district and regional transport offices, and the rules come from Drivers-Conductors Welfare Scheme 2015 notified by the Transport Department.
No cash is paid here. Support comes as training, given through institutes approved by Madhya Pradesh State Skill Development Mission. Samagra registration and a disability certificate from a medical board are the two things that decide your case.
Motor Vehicle Driver-Conductor Welfare Scheme Training and Rehabilitation Details
Driving is hard work, and one bad accident can end that work forever. This part of the welfare scheme steps in at that point. A person who drove a bus or truck for years may not be able to do that job again after losing a limb or after a spine injury. So the department arranges training in some other line, like computer work, accounts, repairing, tailoring or small shop work, based on what the person can still do.
Aptitude and interest are checked first. Training is then fixed as per that check, not given in one fixed trade for everybody. Fees for the training are handled through the approved institute, so the person does not pay from his pocket.
How to Apply for Training Support
Application is done mostly offline at the transport office, but Samagra registration has to be finished online before that.
STEP 1 - Open the Samagra portal and choose the Register Member option. Enter your Aadhaar number and mobile number, verify the OTP that comes on your phone, and finish your member profile to get the Samagra ID.
STEP 2 - Download the Drivers-Conductors Welfare Scheme form and rules from Madhya Pradesh Transport Department website and take a clear printout.
STEP 3 - Fill every field in the form, mainly your licence number, Samagra ID, accident date and the type of disability. Keep the handwriting clean, because a wrong licence number is the most common reason files get returned.
STEP 4 - Attach self-attested copies of all required documents along with the disability certificate given by an authorised medical board.
STEP 5 - Submit the signed form at your District Transport Office or Regional Transport Office. The office checks your licence record and disability papers, and after approval the training institute is allotted to you.
