“Road safety is a
state of mind whereas accident is an absence of mind.” – the choice is yours!
It is better to start learning good safety habits, right
from an early age.
Teaching children road safety is
a crucial part of raising the young ones as it directly concerns their physical
safety and well-being. Rather than isolated lectures and demonstrations, road
safety is something that needs to be taught continuously and even subtly at
times.
To create awareness about Road
safety, a three days ‘Traffic Rules Orientation Programme’ was held at WIS,
Atun Road, Bhilwara from May 2, 2019 to May 4, 2019. Students of Grade I to IX
participated in this orientation programme. Mr Jatin Kataria, Assistant
Executive from Honda was the key trainer for three days. He and his team
members gave practical as well as theoretical training to students, teachers as
well as to the drivers of the school. Road Safety Educators told the students
about the essential traffic signals, walking on zebra crossing, driving in
lane, following traffic lights, parking the cars, etc. Students were excited to
practice driving the demo vehicles on the traffic path created by the Honda
Team Members while following the traffic rules. Taking lead in this direction,
everyone realized the importance of road safety as their first priority. The
road safety practical demonstration came as an eye opener with relevant road
safety games and quiz pertaining to traffic rules. Pondering over this pertinent
issue of road safety, and security of thousand lives, this initiative has
driven the students to think wisely before they act on roads. The School acted
as a rostrum for providing this opportunity to the students to grow
intellectually and become morally upright citizen in the realm of road safety.
This initiative gave an insight to the students to reflect upon their actions
and ensure road safety for all.
It is rightly said, “Speed
thrills, but kills” and the trauma of the accident leaves an indelible print in
the minds of people. We at WIS believe in “Safety First” is “Safety
Always.” So, students were encouraged to become responsible citizens by shaping
their behaviour and attitude towards road safety.
During the closing ceremony
students were once again briefed about general rules to be followed on the roads
and in their own residential areas. At the end Principal, Mrs Abha Mittal
conveyed the heartfelt thanks to the event manager and the trainer for
conducting such a beneficial session at Witty Campus.
Thanks to Mr Jatin Kataria , Mr
Saurabh Sharma and his team members for their kind support and guidance.
