Evidence snapshot for New Delhi
Women with Wheels: Training Marginalised Women as Professional Drivers (Azad Foundation) shows that since 2008, Azad Foundation in New Delhi has trained over 6,000 marginalised women as professional drivers and placed more than 4,500 in paid driving roles, cumulatively generating over $4.1 million in income. In 2022, the foundation's advocacy with Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) helped enable 93 women—46 of them trained by Azad—to become the first cohort of women public bus drivers in Delhi. In 2024–25 alone, 532 women obtained driving licences through the programme and 278 joined the transport workforce. The evidence covers livelihood outcomes and workforce diversification but does not quantify broader economic or social impacts across Delhi.
