On this occasion Uber also announced the launch of UberSCHOLAR in Hyderabad, an initiative to make education accessible for driver partner’s children. Through this, Uber will provide scholarships of upto Rs 10,000 to the children of over 200 driver partners’ kids in the next year.

We believe that technologies like Uber provide an incredible opportunity to improve road safety in new and innovative ways.

I encourage you all to continue this excellent service and contribute towards making Telangana an incident-free state.”
