road safety
among students. Responding to CBSE's new directive, educational institutions are stepping up their commitment to instill safe commuting habits and responsible road behavior from a young age.
This campaign is the specially composed Road Safety Anthem Parwah Karenge, Surakshit Rahenge" which is to be be played during morning assemblies in CBSE-affiliated schools. Principal of Firayalal Public School, Niraj Kumar Sinha, said, " The anthem is intended to serve as a daily reminder for students to prioritize safety while commuting. "
In addition to this, schools plans to start screening short films and documentaries on traffic rules, pedestrian safety, and accident prevention.
As per the experts, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) initiated this campaign after reviewing national accident data, which showed over 1.8 lakh road fatalities last year, with more than 10,000 victims under the age of 18. Over 11,000 deaths were reported near schools and educational institutions.
Rajesh Pillai, Principal of Kerala School, Dhurwa, said, "While schools have always run occasional awareness drives, the structured approach from the board has added greater momentum.
It's crucial to make students not just academically prepared but also road-aware." To further extend the outreach, schools have been instructed to share road safety films and advisories through WhatsApp groups and digital platforms, ensuring that parents too become active participants in reinforcing safe practices.
Messages such as "Don't Rush", "Come Slowly", and "School of Road Safety" are being widely circulated.
Beyond awareness, strict regulations are being enforced. Many schools have banned students from bringing two-wheelers without a valid driving licence.
