In order to impart effective road safety education to the students, a Road safety education programme is being conducted in Yadavindra Public School, Patiala. The programme is being run by renowned NGO, Patiala Foundation SADAK. The students of class VI-VIII are part of this programme.
In order to educate young children about basic road etiquettes and safety measures, road safety education classes are being conducted in YPS. These classes are held thrice a week and the programme will continue till the end of this session. A Road Safety Club has been formed for the same.
Ravi S Ahluwalia, Chief Functionary Patiala Foundation, sensitized the students about the importance of road safety. He provided an overall idea about principles of crossing roads, using seatbelts and helmet and other basic safety rules. The students were also told about the ‘Children Challan Book’.
“Every other day we find ourselves stuck in some hazardous traffic situations. The lack of following road safety guidelines has proven fatal for many. To bring a change in this scenario, we need to influence people to follow safety guidelines responsibly to avoid any more unfortunate incidents. It is also important to educate young children about road safety to bring a change in the society.” said, YPS Director, Maj Gen Sanjiv Varma, VSM, (Retd)
Through this initiative, we intend to imbibe knowledge, social skills and values and sense of compassion into our students.
