At MRG School, Rohini ‘National road safety week’ was observed from the 11th to the 17th of January. The students, after enjoying animated videos about road safety, participated in a conversation with the class teacher and a peer group to share their experiences and views. Students also made banners and posters explaining traffic signals and various road safety standards, followed by a show-and-tell activity. The purpose of these activities was to show concern for people and their lives rather than to take them for granted. In order for students to be responsible road users, they were educated on the subject of road safety.
