This was an
excellent educational programme for the Truck, Trailer and other logistics
equipment drivers by ‘TCI Safe Safar’.
The programme’s main attraction was a series
of educational skits performed in the style of “Nukkad Natak”. These Nukkad
Nataks were staged on a specially fabricated Eco-friendly truck. These Nataks
were humorous performances made more attractive with popular songs and simple
language; the best way to take the message to those concerned.
More than 60
drivers participated.
The organizers
took this opportunity to drive home not only just the Road Safety but also the
great social evil of single use plastics, the plastic corruption. The events
proved socially very responsible with the efforts taken to sensitize people,
the drivers including, to the importance of Climate change and ways to face
them.
Speaking on the
occasion, Mr RajKiran Kanagala from TCIL, said, “. Safety should be
the utmost priority of every organization, and with the help of such events, we
aim at strengthening the safety mission for drivers across the country.”
More than being a
road safety awareness programme, the main objective of the TCI’s Safe Safar
programme is to uplift the status of a driver, the one who keeps the country
and the world moving.
The unique use of this street play with actors
communicating in local language, wearing colorful dresses, encouraging driver
participation has made its mark with a reach of 1 million+ drivers, who have
been made aware of safety, health, and environment aspects.
TCI Safe Safar by
Transport Corporation of India Ltd. (TCI Group) is a one-of-its-kind program
running from 2019 that targets the driver community and the user industry. It
is one step towards driver education – BY THE DRIVER, FOR THE DRIVER. They are
the protagonist of this story, unlike many other road safety drives in the
country.
