Volkswagen is observing Road Safety Week 2017 with a series of sessions on road rules, regulations, and road user behaviour for classes VIII & IX students. Hubert Ebner (India) Pvt. Ltd. (HE) is the training partner for this initiative which will be sustained through the year.
The programme seeks to increase awareness about road rules, regulations and road user behaviour among students and caution them against underage driving. These sessions cover an array of subjects ranging from basic road signs to helping students understand necessary precautions around walking, riding and commuting by bus. The students also get to interact with Traffic Constables and Sub-Inspectors of the Pune Traffic Police Branch. Pune
Initiated as a part of HE’s Prayas programme, a multi-city training for teaching and non-teaching staff, students and guardians, Volkswagen aims to engage with 1000 students through the year. Following this, the company plans to extend the engagement to teachers and administrative staff, and guardians of students in the selected schools.
