The seminar is part of a campaign that started two days ago in Mumbai, and will see MHP and representatives of Maruti Driving Schools spread the message of safe driving and road safety through various programmes throughout the day. The seminar will take place at VPM Institute of Management, and Joshi College in Thane.
The campaign also focuses on the importance of quality driving training before taking up the wheel and takes the message to residential societies by putting up road safety messages in over 5,000 residential societies across the state.
