The Transport Committee meeting was held at Amrita Vidyalayam, Juinagar on July 31, 2019. The meeting was attended by Principal Brni. Rekha, RTO Area Officer Mr. Rahul Gawde, PSI Mr. More and Mr. Salve from Turbhe Traffic Department, and members of the Transport Committee.
All the documents pertaining to the school such as Insurance, Registration, Fitness and Tax were checked and the officers confirmed that they were all in order. Bus drivers were called, and their licenses and badges were checked by the officers and found to be in order. The drivers were strictly advised not to jump signals and maintain a safe speed limit to ensure the safety of the children.
The officers congratulated the school for bagging the 2nd prize in the ‘Swachh Sarvekshan’ competition conducted by NMMC and were thrilled to see the greenery surrounding the school campus. They also interacted with our 10th graders, advising them about road safety, guidelines laid down by the RTO regarding two wheelers and four wheelers, and urged them to drive only after acquiring a license. They also spoke about road safety precautions to be followed by all, such as crossing the road only at zebra crossings, wearing seat belts, and travelling safe while using public transport.
Our students presented a skit called “Hamari Suraksha Hamaare Haath” before the officials through which a hard hitting message was conveyed in a fun manner using parodies of Hindi songs. The songs were aptly sung to showcase various incidents that occur during driving such as the perils of helmet less driving, drunk driving, distractions caused by mobiles while driving, and the need to give way to an ambulance at all times. They used banners which contained meaningful slogans to drive home the above messages.
Principal Brni. Rekha thanked the officials for taking the time to interact with the students.
