Revolutionizing Road Safety: New Driving License Rules and Fees Effective from June 1


The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways in India has announced significant changes to the existing driving rules, which will come into effect from June 1, 2024. Here are the key changes:


1. Driving Test at Private Centres: Applicants can take the driving test at private driving training centres instead of Regional Transport Offices (RTOs). These private institutions will be authorised to conduct tests and issue certificates for licence eligibility.


2. Penalties: Driving a car without a valid license will be more stringent; the penalty can go up to as high as ₹2,000. Furthermore, a severe punishment of ₹25,000 will be levied, and action against the minor's parents may be initiated if they are caught driving a car.


3. Paperwork Simplified: The paperwork needed to get a driver's license has been simplified to include only the necessary documents.


4. Eco-friendly Approach: The ministry is investigating methods to phase out 9,000 outdated government cars and raise the emission requirements of other vehicles.


5. Revised Guidelines for Private Driving Schools:

   - Land Requirements: Driving training centres must have a minimum of 1 acre of land for light motor vehicle training and 2 acres for heavy motor vehicle training.

   - Testing Facility: Schools must offer access to an appropriate testing facility.

   - Trainer Qualifications: Trainers must possess a high school diploma (or equivalent), have a minimum of 5 years of driving experience, and be knowledgeable about biometrics and IT systems.


As for fees and charges, the issuance of a learner’s license (Form 3) will cost Rs 150, with an additional Rs 50 for the learner’s license test or a repeat test. If an individual requires a driving test or a repeat test, the cost will be Rs 300.


What are the new rules for obtaining a learner's license?

The new rules for obtaining a learner's license in India, effective from June 1, 2024, are as follows:

1. No RTO Driving Test Required: Applicants no longer need to take a driving test at the Regional Transport Office (RTO). Instead, the driving test can be conducted at accredited private driving schools. If the applicant passes the test at these schools, they will receive a certificate, which can then be used to apply for a driving license without undergoing further testing at the RTO.

2. Penalties: Driving a car without a valid license now incurs a penalty that can go as high as ₹2,000. Severe punishments for minors driving include a ₹25,000 fine and potential action against the parents, along with the cancellation of the vehicle’s registration certificate.

3. Eco-friendly Approach: The Ministry plans to phase out 9,000 outdated government vehicles and raise emission standards for other vehicles.

4. Procedure Unchanged: The procedure for submitting an application for a driver’s license remains unchanged. The Ministry, however, has simplified the paperwork required for obtaining a new driving license. Applicants now need fewer documents.

5. Driving Training Centres Requirements:
   - Land Requirements: Driving training centres must have a minimum of one acre of land (two acres for four-wheeler training).
   - Testing Facility: Schools must offer access to an appropriate testing facility.
   - Trainer Qualifications: Trainers must possess a high school diploma (or equivalent), have a minimum of five years of driving experience, and be knowledgeable about biometrics and IT systems.
   - The driving course for light motor vehicles will be 29 hours over a maximum of four weeks, split into 21 hours of practical training and eight hours of theoretical instruction. Training for medium and heavy vehicles will be more extensive, requiring 38 hours over six weeks.

6. Fees: The issuance of a learner’s license (Form 3) will cost Rs 150, with an additional Rs 50 for the learner’s license test or a repeat test.

What documents are required for obtaining a learner's license?

Story of the Nilavanti Granth

  A story about the Nilavanti Granth: एक समय की बात है, भारत के दिल में एक रहस्यमयी पुस्तक थी जिसे निलावंती ग्रंथ कहा जाता था। यह पुस्तक संस्कृत में एक ऋषि द्वारा लिखी गई थी। यह भारत की सबसे रहस्यमयी और चमत्कारी पुस्तकों में से एक मानी जाती थी। निलावंती ग्रंथ की कहानी निलावंती नामक एक महिला के साथ शुरू होती है, जिसे जादुई क्षमताओं का होना कहा जाता था। कहा जाता था कि उसे सभी जीवित प्राणियों की भाषा समझने की क्षमता थी। इसी अद्वितीय क्षमता के कारण निलावंती ग्रंथ इतना विशेष था। निलावंती उत्तर प्रदेश के एक छोटे से गांव में पैदा हुई थीं। जब वह सिर्फ पांच साल की थी, उसकी मां का निधन हो गया, तब उसके पिता ने उसे लेकर दूसरे गांव में चले गए। निलावंती ने अपने पिता से आयुर्वेद सीखा और उसे पौधों, जानवरों, और पक्षियों की भाषा समझने की अद्वितीय क्षमता भी थी। निलावंती जब बड़ी हुई, तो उसे सपने आने लगे जिसमें भूत-प्रेत उसे पृथ्वी के नीचे छिपे हुए खजानों के बारे में बताते थे। इन खजानों के बारे में जानने के बावजूद, निलावंती, एक सच्ची व्यक्ति होने के नाते, कभी उन्हें खोदकर नहीं निकाली। बजाय इसके, उसने भ...

वीर्य शरीर की बहुत मूल्यवान् धातु है । भोजन से वीर्य बनने की प्रक्रिया बड़ी लम्बी है | श्री सुश्रुताचार्य ने लिखा है : रसाद्रक्तं ततो मांसं मांसान्मेदः प्रजायते | मेदस्यास्थिः ततो मज्जा मज्जायाः शुक्रसंभवः ॥ जो भोजन पचता है , उसका पहले रस बनता है । पाँच दिन तक उसका पाचन होकर रक्त बनता है । पाँच दिन बाद रक्त में से मांस , उसमें से 5-5 दिन के अंतर से मेद , मेद से हड्डी , हड्डी से मज्जा और मज्जा से अंत में वीर्य बनता है । स्त्री में जो यह धातु बनती है उसे ‘ रज ‘ कहते हैं । वीर्य किस प्रकार छः सात मंजिलों से गुजरकर अपना यह अंतिम रूप धारण करता है , यह सुश्रुत के इस कथन से ज्ञात हो जाता है । कहते हैं कि इस प्रकार वीर्य बनने में करीब 30 दिन व 4 घण्टे लग जाते हैं । वैज्ञनिक लोग कहते हैं कि 32 किलोग्राम भोजन से 700 ग्राम रक्त बनता है और 700 ग्राम रक्त से लगभग 20 ग्राम वीर्य बनता है । आकर्षक व्यक्तित्व का कारण इस वीर्य के संयम से शरीर में एक अदभुत आकर्षक शक्ति उत्पन्न होती है जिसे प्राचीन वैद्य धन्वंतरि ने ‘ ओज ‘ नाम दिया है । यही ओज मनुष्य को अपने परम – लाभ ‘ आत्मदर्शन ‘ कराने में सहायक बनता है ...

वीर्यरक्षा के उपाय

  सादा रहन – सहन बनायें काफी लोगों को यह भ्रम है कि जीवन तड़क – भड़कवाला बनाने से वे समाज में विशेष माने जाते हैं । वस्तुतः ऐसी बात नहीं है । इससे तो केवल अपने अहंकार का ही प्रदर्शन होता है । लाल रंग के भड़कीले एवं रेशमी कपड़े नहीं पहनो । तेल – फुलेल और भाँति – भाँति के इत्रों का प्रयोग करने से बचो । जीवन में जितनी तड़क – भड़क बढ़ेगी , इन्द्रियाँ उतनी चंचल हो उठेंगी , फिर वीर्यरक्षा तो दूर की बात है । इतिहास पर भी हम दृष्टि डालें तो महापुरुष हमें ऐसे ही मिलेंगे , जिनका जीवन प्रारंभ से ही सादगीपूर्ण था । सादा रहन – सहन तो बडप्पन का द्योतक है । दूसरों को देख कर उनकी अप्राकृतिक व अधिक आवश्यकताओंवाली जीवन शैली का अनुसरण नहीं करो । उपयुक्त आहार ईरान के बादशाह बहमन ने एक श्रेष्ठ वैद्य से पूछा : “ दिन में मनुष्य को कितना खाना चाहिए ? ” “ सौ दिराम ( अर्थात् 31 तोला ) | “ वैद्य बोला | “ इतने से क्या होगा ? ” बादशाह ने फिर पूछा । वैद्य ने कहा : “ शरीर के पोषण के लिये इससे अधिक नहीं चाहिए | इससे अधिक जो कुछ खाया जाता है , वह केवल बोझा ढोना है और आयुष्य खोना है । ” लोग स्वाद के लिये अपने पेट क...

questions and answers for UPSC preparation:

UPSC preparation: General Studies Paper 1 Question 1 : Discuss the impact of globalization on the cultural identity of countries.
