A job fair for women drivers was organized at the Amberpet Police College on Saturday as part of an initiative to promote safe and sustainable livelihoods.
The program was organized by Telangana Women Safety Wing in association with MOWO Social Initiatives with the support of Hyderabad Police. Police officials said the focus is on creating employment opportunities for women in driving-based mobility services, including two-wheeler taxis and electric cars.
Charu Sinha, IPS, Additional Director General of Police, Women Safety Wing, said driving-related jobs could give women economic independence while increasing their visibility and sense of security in public spaces. She said the initiative is in line with Telangana government’s emphasis on preventive security measures and women empowerment.
Officials said the job fair brought together training, licensing, access to vehicles and job opportunities through a single window system, reducing barriers for women aspiring to enter the mobility sector. The nine-month pilot project aims to enable around 700 women to take on the role of female drivers and is expected to serve as a scalable model for female urban transport in other cities.
Mobility platforms, electric vehicle lessors and financial institutions also participated in the event, highlighting the collaboration between the public and private sectors to create inclusive employment opportunities for women.
