Oakridgers calls for Road Safety Campaign

HYDERABAD, India - April 24, 2013 - PRLog -- 24th April 2013, Hyderabad: 1.2 million die in road accidents each year. A child is killed in an accident every three minutes. Road safety is increasingly becoming a major killer and a worldwide concern, particularly for young people. What can we do to address the issue? Awareness is the only solution which should come from every corner of life.
Oakridge is of the pioneer educational institutions that provide global education focusing to instill social commitments and global responsiveness in the minds of students. Carrying forward that message Oakridgers started a Road Safety Campaign to create awareness on being safe on road. As part of the campaign they are visiting corporate, meeting public and presenting methods to be safe and protected while on road.

Capt. Rohit Sen Bajaj, principal of Oakridge Gachibowli campus, says, “We have initiated this program with noble cause of spreading awareness on road safety. These kinds of initiatives are there for long time but children taking up such an initiative make it different from others. They have gone deep into the research to find out the solution and worked hard to propagate their message.

Our students made beautiful presentations to describe the chaos created by road accidents and were able to convey their message to large crowd. During their corporate visit to companies like Mahindra Satyam and Invesco, the positive reaction and responses received were encouraging for them. Going further on this, children are planning for a huge campaign on road at Jubilee Hills a signal-which is one of the heaviest traffic zones in the city- to spread their message” he adds.
