“Induction Program and Lecture”
Dated: 05 December 2024
The ‘Induction Program’ of the Road Safety Club for session 2023-24 was held in Room No. 116 on 05 December 2024. The main aim of the session was to familiarize the new students of the college and the students of second and third year as well about the genesis and significance of the Road Safety Club. Another important objective was to encourage their enrolment in the club and increase their participation in its activities. They were informed that it was Dr Rajseekaran, former Head of the Indian Orthopedics’ Association, who filed a writ petition in the Honourable Supreme Court of India requesting it to take cognizance of the large number of road accidents happening in India and the repetition of a similar pattern of carelessness and apathy. The Honourable Supreme Court of India took notice of the contents of the petition and directed all the State governments and the Government of India to constitute Road Safety cells and monitoring committees in every educational institution of the country.
The students in the ‘Induction Program’ were informed that five departments of the government in Himachal Pradesh are working in unison to reduce the number of mishaps and fatalities on Indian roads. They are the Transport department, PWD department, the Police Department, the Health department, and the Education department. The Education department has been included in this project as the youngsters constitute the major proportion of India’s population. The data from government websites was quoted in the talk and it was shared that maximum number of accidents occur amongst the 25–35-year age group followed by 18–24-year age group. The meeting was well attended, and the students were informed that in the forthcoming sessions, they shall be sensitized on the following important concerns:
1. Road Safety Rules & their relevance
2. Road Markings & Signages; Types of Roads & Traffic Signals
3. Pedestrian Safety
4. Important Documents such as Driving Licenses, Registration Certificate, Insurance, Pollution Certificate, Digi Locker, m-Parivahan app.
5. Importance of proper & periodic maintenance of vehicles.
