New Delhi:Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) today said 10,000 tribal youth have been trained in professional driving at a training centre in Gujarat.

“Our objective is to make the students employment ready through driving training and soft skills, and help them get suitable employment,” MSI Executive Director Marketing & Sales R S Kalsi said in a statement.
