Manjunath, a 41 year old truck driver, very recently was stressed and discomfort while travelling for long distances. That is when he saw the STFC Mobile Medical Van conducting health camp on Mumbai Highway at his doorstep. So, he thought of visiting the STFC Mobile Medical Van doctor. He got his blood sugar and Blood Pressure checked and was diagnosed with Hypertension. He did not realize this earlier as he never got a chance to get himself examined. He never had any other problem because of which he kept on ignoring his health. This was the time when he realized his health status and said – “I did not know about the complications I had with my health. The doctor counselled me on precautions and healthy practices to be followed. I am much more aware of my health now and would take care of it. Thanks to STFC Mobile Medical Vans for making healthcare services available and accessible for us.”

Dr.Harshita has completed her MBBS from Bangalore and had been working with private hospital in casualty before joining STFC’s primary healthcare Program. Dr.Harshita believes in connecting with communities and serving them. She says “There were no healthcare intervention for drivers especially those who travel long distance. There are some foundations/organisations which focus upon STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections) especially HIV/AIDS, vision problems of drivers but there was no intervention related to prevent, screen or treat Diabetes and Hypertension and common ailments. Our project focuses upon making health care accessible to the truckers not just for common ailments including hyper tension and diabetes, which are common in truck drivers as they travel long distance, have long sitting hours behind the wheel, eat outside food and don’t get enough time/facilities for their regular check-up and treatment. I feel privileged to be part of this team and wish to serve beneficiaries with all of my knowledge and dedication.
Currently with one of the highest youth population in the world, India faces its greatest opportunity as well as challenge. It is slated to become the world’s youngest nation by 2022. This demographic dividend not only provides a huge reservoir of manpower, but also draws focus towards making this talent pool employable.
he Government of India, under its ‘Skill India’ mission, has initiated a number of schemes to achieve this end. Since inception the Government has emphasised that this vision cannot be achieved without multi-stakeholder collaboration, the corporate sector/business marked as a critical contributor.
STFC has contributed towards this national goal by extending trainings for the skilling, re-skilling and up-skilling of drivers.
Key focus of STFC’s driver training project
Skill Building outreach
| Particulars | Number of candidates trained |
|---|---|
| Total drivers trained till date | Over 3500 |
Driver trainings in both LMVs and HMVs were conducted across the length and breadth of the country. Over 3500 candidates were trained, with 72 percent of them getting placed in the logistics industry which in turn is larger goal of filling the skill gap of the logistics industry.
By providing skilling as well as re-skilling and up-skilling opportunities in the driving industry, STFC is contributing towards upgrading the status and social attraction of what are considered low-quality and bottom of the pyramid (BOP) jobs. Furthermore by extending training in driving HMVs, it is an attempt in the direction of transforming the largely inefficient and hazardous nature of truck driving.
