Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India in association with Tamil Nadu State Police kicks off road safety awareness drive in Chennai

 

The 9 days drive on important aspects of road safety aims to educate nearly 1,000 newly recruited sub-inspectors of the state

 

Chennai, 27 April 2022: Continuing its efforts to foster safe riding habits, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) in association with Tamil Nadu State Police today kicked off a road safety awareness drive at Tamil Nadu Police Academy located at Kellambakkam High Road Vandalur (Oonamanchery) in Chennai.

 

In order to ensure the safety of police forces who selflessly dedicate their lives to protecting the citizens, the Tamil Nadu State Police has given the responsibility to HMSI to initiate a road safety awareness program for newly recruited sub-inspectors of the state. Beginning on 28 April 2022, the 9-days awareness drive on how to be safe on roads will sensitize nearly 1000 newly recruited sub-inspectors of Tamil Nadu.

 

The awareness drive was kicked-off in the august presence of Dr. A. Amalraj (Indian Police Service Officer & Assistant Director General of Police, Tamil Nadu) and Sh. Prabhu Nagaraj (Operating Officer - Brand & Communication, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India) and other dignitaries from Tamil Nadu Police and HMSI.

 

Elaborating on spreading road safety awareness Mr. Prabhu Nagaraj, Operating Officer - Brand & Communication, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India said, “HMSI salutes the Tamil Nadu Police who is working rigorously to protect the citizens. With this road safety awareness drive, HMSI expresses its gratitude to them and wants to ensure their safety on the roads by educating them on important aspects of road safety. We thank Tamil Nadu Police for extending their support to us in educating the new sub-instructors to not only be responsible road users but also help in enforcement. Moving forward, we will continue to expand our road safety initiatives for creating more responsible road users.”

 

About HMSI’s road safety awareness drive for Tamil Nadu police:

HMSI’s 3.5-hours training program will educate the participants through the theory session on road rules & regulations, road signs & markings, driver’s duties on the road, riding gear & posture explanation, and safe riding etiquette. This will be followed by training on Honda’s virtual riding simulator to experience nearly 100 possible dangers on road before actual riding.

 

Further, to improve the risk prediction ability of riders on roads, participants will be provided special danger prediction training known as Kiken Yosoku Training (KYT) which helps in enhancing rider/driver’s sensitivity to danger and ensures safe driving action on roads. To provide participants a holistic understanding of road safety, the participants will then implement the learnings through practical training on a Honda two-wheeler.

 

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India’s CSR commitment towards Road Safety:

For Honda globally, road safety comes first. As announced in April 2021, “Honda will strive for zero traffic collision fatalities involving Honda motorcycles and automobiles globally by 2050”. Fulfilling its corporate social responsibility (CSR), HMSI has been promoting road safety in India since its start in 2001. Working towards the realization of Honda’s global safety vision, today HMSI’s road safety awareness initiative has already spread to over 45 lac Indians. Its team of skilled safety instructors conducts daily programs at its 10 adopted traffic parks across India and 7 Safety Driving Education Centres (SDEC).

 

Not only this, all 1000+ dealerships of HMSI across India spread road safety awareness. HMSI’s proprietary virtual riding simulator increases the risk-prediction ability of riders; while new customers to are given predelivery safety advice (PDSA) before they start riding at every dealership across India.

 

Additionally, to ensure that learning doesn’t stop in the New Normal, HMSI started the digital road safety education initiative - Honda Road Safety E-Gurukul. Since its start in May’20, this initiative has sensitized 7 Lac+ Indians on the importance of being aware & responsible road users.

Is studying abroad a boon or a bane?

We have always had a debate when it comes to the topic - "Is studying abroad a boon or a bane?" The ideas differ from person to person. If you ask me, I would surely say that Studying Abroad is certainly a boon. Why is that? India is home to many universities which are known worldwide. Having said that, we must also accept the fact that none of them are in Top 20 at least. While there are many factors that attributes to this, when a person has the means to afford it combined with interest and talent, I do not see the reason as to why one shouldn't be educated abroad? While few study for their status symbol, majority of them predominantly study abroad to enhance their career. There is no doubt in it. Take a look at this brilliant video before we could proceed further. Having said that, the option isn't available to all who wanted to go out of India.
