The Department of Dean Students’ Welfare (DSW), Sharda University organised a ‘Seminar on Road Safety Initiative’. During the programme, around 200 students were given free helmets. Students were inspired by the views of ACP Traffic Pawan Kumar and Karolis, Rider & international speaker.
Addressing the gathering, ACP Traffic Pawan Kumar said, “People are dying in road accidents as a result of a little negligence and laziness. If you are not wearing a helmet and seat belt while driving, then you are not concerned about yourself or your family. The purpose of the police is to protect you, not to bother you. You can be safe while driving by following traffic rules.
Karolis, Rider & international speaker stated, “Your head is the most vital organ of your body. You should always obey traffic rules and use a high-quality helmet for protection." He also said he is travelling around the world on a bike, but with complete safety.
Sharing his view, Prof. BK Singh, Dean Students’ Welfare, Sharda University, said, “Being the Youngest Nation in the World, India has the most vibrant youth population in the world, with more than 808 million people (or around 66 percent of the overall population) under the age of 35. Young adults in the age group of 18–45 years accounted for 67.6 percent of victims in 2021. This establishes that the youth are the most vulnerable road users; hence, they need to be educated through building their capacity in terms of road safety. The project is designed to keep youth on the road safe through sensitization, increasing their safety by providing ISI-Mark-quality helmets and engagement.
During the programme, thousands of students, faculty, and staff of Sharda University participated.
