Today, the inauguration of this Driving Training & Research Institute in Karnal marks yet another step towards transforming citizens into responsible drivers & riders. Furthermore, as a responsible corporate, we also remain committed towards reducing the carbon footprint. With the inauguration of Karnal’s Community Park, we aim to significantly reduce our CO2 emissions and build a greener future with blue skies for our children. I would like to thank the Government of Haryana for associating with us and supporting us in inching a step closer towards the achievement of our global 2050 vision of zero traffic collision fatalities and carbon neutrality.”

 

Located near New Bus Stand, Indri road, Baldi by-pass, Karnal and spread across a vast land of 9.25 acres, Honda India Foundation’s first Institute of Driving Training and Research (IDTR) will help in building skilled and confident riders/drivers.
