APSRTC starts special training for depot managers to stop money leaks

The APSRTC Transport Academy and the head office have launched a special training programme for depot managers to stop technical errors, money mistakes, and revenue loss. The first batch of this two-day programme started at the head office in Vijayawada on Tuesday, with depot managers from across the State taking part. APSRTC Joint Managing Director M. Siva Prasad, Executive Director for Administration K.S. Brahmananda Reddy, and Executive Director for Engineering G.V. Ravi Varma attended the event. Speaking to the managers, Joint Managing Director Siva Prasad asked them to protect corporation funds, make the system clear and open, and build strong responsibility. He told them to spot technology-related problems, stop money leak spots, check records and money deals often, and work better between different departments.

Training Details

The training covers Personnel, Accounts, Mechanical, Operations, Commercial or Logistics, and IT matters. Senior officers and subject experts give practical advice on how to run a depot, handle money, keep records, and check procedures. The programme runs in four batches from November 10 to November 20, covering a total of 125 depot managers. Transport Academy Principal P. Chakra Teja is in charge of supervising the whole event.

Context

Public transport corporations in India often run special training drives to fix administrative delays and tighten internal checks across local depots. Such programmes help management ensure that field-level offices follow proper financial rules and make the best use of available technology.
