4. Problem
• Rash driving and speeding vehicles – a
nuisance for kids who walk to school everyday
5. Solution
• The main idea was that only by cooperation
between the vehicle drivers and the pedestrians
can the roads be made safer.
1. Write a letter to the Assistant Commissioner of
Police, Traffic Sub-division, Mangalore city
requesting them to send a Traffic Policeman to
teach the kids at the ashram about traffic rules
2. Meet with the bus drivers and explain their
problems to them (mainly about speeding)
through a skit and charts
6. Implementation Details
1. The kids along with their mentors went to the main
bus stop in Mangalore and spoke to the bus drivers
about their problem (speeding and rash driving)
which causes difficulty to them while walking on the
road and especially while crossing. They did this
through charts that they prepared and a simple skit
through which they portrayed how buses should slow
down in school zones especially when they see school
kids crossing the road.
2. Wrote a letter to the Assistant Commissioner of
Police, Traffic sub-division, Mangalore requesting to
send a traffic policeman who taught the kids at the
ashram about traffic rules and road safety.
7. Result
• The drivers were made aware of the problems
faced by pedestrians due to their speeding.
• The kids learnt about traffic rules and road
safety.
• Now, together they can make the road safer
for everyone and turn walking on the roads to
a pleasant activity rather than a nightmare!
