Port Blair, Jan 30: The Member of Parliament, Shri Kuldeep Rai Sharma flagged off and inaugurated ‘Girls on Wheels’ at Mithkhari and Namunaghar areas on 29/01/2024 at 10.00 am. The initiative received tremendous response as 55 girls enrolled for the initiative.

Under ‘Girls on Wheels’ initiative the Member of Parliament aims at teaching two wheeler driving to girls of Mithakhari and Namunaghar areas so that all girls willing to learn driving can acquire driving skills free of cost in a safe way under proper guidance.

Speaking on the occasion the Member of Parliament said that ‘Girls on Wheels’ is aimed at women empowerment. He said that the driving licence of two wheelers for girls is crucial, as once acquired, they become eligible for various recruitments and also they don’t have to depend upon anyone for their transportation.

“This is my aim that every girl of Andaman & Nicobar Islands should have a driving licence so that they can become independent,” he said.

Residents of Mithkhari, Namunaghar and nearby areas who attended the programme lauded the Member of Parliament for the ‘Girls on the Wheels’ initiative.
