Maruti to setup 15 driving schools : The Economic Times (Web Edition)

New Delhi: Car market leader Maruti Suzuki India Ltd on Friday said it would set up world-class Maruti Driving Schools across 15 cities in India this year in partnership with its dealers.

These Maruti Driving Schools (MDS) are modelled on international lines, where learners will be imparted classroom training, practical training and training in attitude and road behaviour, as per international practice, the company said in a statement.

MDS will be set up in partnership with Maruti dealerships, which will operate and manage the schools, it said.
