All approval process for driving licenses will be computerised to ensure that only genuine trained drivers get authorisation, Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari said on Thursday.
The minister said at least one model driving training centre will be set up in each district of a state or Union Territory.
Financial assistance of up to Rs 1 crore will be provided by the ministry, while the state agency will invest an equal amount of grant under the scheme, he told reporters here.
He said that soon there will be no human interface in granting driving licences, especially to heavy vehicle drivers in the country.
As many as 16.72 lakh driving licences were found "possible duplicates" after analysing records of 6.70 crore licences, Parliament was informed earlier this week.
