Truck drivers, the backbone of India’s economy and supply chain, often remain unsung heroes. To recognize these overlooked individuals and ensure their health and safety, TV9 Network and Shriram Finance initiated Highway Heroes Season 2. This unique initiative focused on the financial, mental, and physical well-being of truck drivers, along with their technical upskilling. Hundreds of drivers received training through the Logistics Skill Council (LSC) and were awarded Level-4 certificates, equivalent to a 12th-grade education. This certification will assist them in their careers and driving license renewals. During the closing event, trucking industry panelists discussed ways to make the lives of truck drivers easier, safer, and more dignified. Twelve selected drivers were honored on stage to boost their morale and confidence. Throughout the program, health check-ups, yoga sessions, TB awareness, financial literacy tips, and career guidance sessions gave Highway Heroes its unique identity.
