The Chapter in collaboration with Central Labour Institute, Safety Division DGFASLI, Ministry of Labour & Employment, Government of India organised 219th training course on Industrial Safety from 25th to 27th October 2017 at the conference room, Central Labour Institute, Mumbai. 24 participants from various industries took advantage of the training course.
219th Training Programme on Industrial Safety in collaboration with CLI
“World Day of Remembrance”for road safety is commemorated on the third Sunday of November. We remember all those who have lost their lives & injured in road accidents across theworld.The activitywas first initiated internationally
then, was replicated across the World. It was after 10 years the World Day of Remembrance was adopted by the UN General Assembly on the 26th October 2005. We the united for road safety team initiated the idea across colleges. Our team actively works on road safety since 2015.The day is usually observed on the 19th of November but we decided to commemorate the event from the 19th of November to 30th of November 2017. The idea of the event was to ignite the road safety agenda&sensitizewithourdifferentactivities to pay homage to people, losing their lives & inculcating in them a sense of respecting the rules & importance of following it too. Weasanorganizationhavemanaged to form road safety clubs in most of the colleges in & around Mumbai. We collaborated with the NSS Cell University of Mumbai of each college to mobilize studentsto conduct the activity. We
observed 17colleges & successfully conducted the event. About 207student’sparticipants&wemanagedtosanitize849studentsin these 17 colleges. Our event comprised of Candle light vision with 2mins of silence. Street Play with the road safety theme. Slogans & Poems on road safety. Poster Making &Poster exhibition.QuizCompetitiononroadsafety.PublicSpeakeri.e.RTOofficialswasarrangedtogiveatalk&addressthestudents.These activities were an initiative by the road safetyclub which we formed during our road safety sessions. Some colleges like SiddharthacollegeofLawcelebratedtheeventexcellentlytheyimplemented all the above activities. Similarly Nirmala Niketan college of Home Science also implemented all the activities in the most innovative manner. They recited a poem & shouted slogans on road safety also made beautiful posters on road safety.
World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims The Street play act in Siddhartha College of Law was the most effective & amazing,the entire college had come to watch the act from the principal to all their facility with the students. The message was displayed in the most dramatic & effective way. Apart from the activities the biggest highlight of the event was the testimonials shared by the victim’s loved ones. The stories shared were more enriching with the idea of road safety & abiding on the rules & regulation. They, having lost their loved ones coming out to share their story & grief created a sense of valuing one’s life in the minds of all the sensitizedindividuals. T.K Tope College being a night college manages to make one of the best posters for WDR. They were the most creative students, the youth from this college work during the day & attend college in the evening In spite of the busy scheduleall the students from NSS & Non NSS participated in the event they also made more than 20 posters with maximumparticipation,eventhe teachers & the peons joined for the event. The commemoration of the event was our gesture to pay a tribute to people who have lost their lives out of negligence or been a victim of unavoidable circumstances. It’s important to value one’s life & we can’t afford to lose our youth in road accidents, as the most effected in these accidents accordingtotheMTPisthe(MumbaiTrafficPolice) istheagegroup of 18 to 30. We the United for Road Safety team will continue to train & sensitizeyouthsothatbytheendof2020ouraimofreducingroad accidents should vanish by 50%.Campagins & events for road safety like the world day of remembrance, will surly help us in reviving the idea of riding safely. A weeklong event of the WDR was very successful, as it reflectsonthenumbersofyouthwhohavesensitized.TheNSS&theroadsafetyclubmembersactedeffectively inmobilizingthenon-sensitizedstudentsmakingtheeventasuccess.
