This document describes a safety awareness project organized by the Jusco School South Park (JSSP) safety team. The team conducted a pre-survey that found low awareness of safety practices among students, parents, and the community. They then organized a "Safety Mela" (fair) with various activities and demonstrations on topics like fire safety, road safety, and disaster management. External agencies helped conduct live demonstrations. A post-survey found awareness had increased significantly after the event. The school aims to make the Safety Mela an annual event to further promote safety.

4. What we feel ………
The mounting causality rate in our serene Steel City of
Jamshedpur has triggered a serious concern at all levels !
Gone are the days when the morning newspapers boasted
about the glories and milestones of our city……but ….. it
now paints a totally horrifying picture with a string of
ACCIDENTS that happened the previous night !
What a way to start the day !
Piercing a little deeper into the facts and figures we
leave a sigh ….to say …. A little bit of alertness would have
saved the life !

5. LETS PICK IN TO
SOME SAFETY
RELATED
FACTS AND FIGURES

6. Maximum road accidents reported
in Steel City
RANCHI: Statistics available with the National
Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) shows that 41.8% of
the unnatural deaths occurring in the state are
linked to road accidents out of which Jamshedpur
and Dhanbad have reported the maximum .

7. ACCIDENTS RATE IN JHARKHAND
Killer roads in state claim 17 every day
Alok K N Mishra, TNN | Mar 3, 2013, 06.24AM IST
RANCHI: The newly-constructed highways and expressways
may give the impression that Jharkhand is developing fast
in terms of a proper road system and is well-connected too.
But so far as safety is concerned, one needs to think twice
before drawing any conclusion.
About 17 persons dying every day in various road
accidents in the state.
A total of 6261 persons lost their lives in 2012 due to road
accidents across the state. Traffic SPs conveniently put the
blame on lack of awareness about road safety behind
these rampant accidents.

8. Every 3½ minute one person dies on Indian Roads

9. Hum Indians ACCIDENTS karne me No. 1 hain !!!!

10. Accident is a major cause of deaths in India

11. YOUNGSTERS SPEEDING ON BIKE ARE MOST PRONE TO THIS DANGER

12. What we feel ………
We discussed with our teachers, students and
also our parents to understand the cause of this
problem…
While we were trying to understand the
situation, we recalled a horrifying incident which
took the life of one of our most promising
student in a freak road accident… it was a loss
which can never be recovered ….we are now left
with only lingering memories and a blank place on
the second bench to the left where he used to sit
........ it so happened....

13. What we feel?
He had gone to attend the wedding of his uncle….
little did the family know that all the merriment
they had in the wedding party from which they
were returning would be his last!
He was a young bright and charming boy ,with all
the dreams for a bright future, fancying latest
gadgets, freaking on continental dishes , swaying
on the latest musical notes and a favourite of all his
friends and teachers . He left us all for the
heavenly abode when their car was severely hit by
another speeding car ! He breathed his last with a
fatal head injury leaving his parents and sister
unconsciously lying on the road , shattered !

14. What we feel?
No words & no deeds are powerful enough to
heal the wound of the shattered parents who
have lost their world in front of their own
eyes.
Why can’t we all become more responsible ?
Isn’t it time for all of us to wake up to this
call ?

15. THE TRIGGER
THIS INCIDENT TRIGGERED OUR FIRST STEP
TOWARDS THE CHANGE....A CHANGE WHICH IS
THE IMMEDIATE CALL OF OUR SOCIETY .....A
CALL OF HUMANITY
SAFETY AWARENESS
THE NEED OF THE HOUR

16. What we feel??
Safe Club members organized a meeting with Principal Maám and
teachers … a brainstorming session on how to curb down the rate of
the accidents. We decided to extend our concern to broader areas
of SAFETY in and outside home and school.

17. SERVICE BEGINS AT HOME
We started off .... SAFETY observation drive in our own
campus..... What we found ........many parents and teachers
driving without HELMET !

18. Parents in a hurry to drop their
students to school on time !
Parking in NO PARKING ZONE !

19. What we imagine??
“Safety is a state of mind. Accident is an
absence of mind.” We understood that
accident is a result of lack of awareness.
So, we decided to conduct a survey to
measure the level of awareness of our
students. Why only students ???
We decided to include parents and
community in this survey.
We came across a standard “SURAKSHA”
survey designed by SAFE, TATA Steel
which included very simple yet relevant
parameters in various areas of safety at
home like safety in kitchen…..

20. What we imagine??
We extended the questionnaire
by adding relevant questions on
road, food and electrical safety.
A special section on cyber safety
was added for senior students.
The survey was administered to
target population
• 300 parents and students
• 100 people from the
neighbourhood and shopkeepers
in the Bistupur market area.

24. What we imagine??
We understood there was a dire need of creating
safety awareness amongst the people .Many ideas came
to us like pamphlet distribution, signboard, talk show,
seminars, etc. But all these ideas were not appealing to
us. Our Principal Maám had attended a session on Cyber
Safety .She came up with an idea of organizing a
“Safety Mela” which would cover a wide area of safety
concerns. We all liked the idea as it would reach out to
students and parents in a very meaningful and
interesting way through charts, posters, audio- visuals ,
plays and most importantly live demonstration on
disaster management and mock evacuation drills .

25. What we did??
Decided to organise
SAFETY MELA
