1. Facts about present condition

• In the present condition of traffic, Students are very vulnerable. They are not taught and hence do not know safe and responsible behavior on roads.
• They simply imbibe bad habits by observing elders on roads.
• Every year, a few students become the victims on roads. Many of these could be due to their own mistakes.

2. What does not work

• Principal or teachers simply telling children, “you must follow rules” or “Promise me, you will never break rules”. (Fact is, today, even people having driving license for many years, do not know traffic rules).

• Hoping that God is there, everything will be fine!

             Question: Can we do something about this? Do we care?

3. What is needed

• Scientific, methodical and practical approach

• Willingness, care and a little investment of time from parents & teachers.

 How?   ------ in a Simple and effective way through ---> Project Kavach 

1. Imparting practical knowledge about safe behavior on Road in practical way

• This will be NOT be done in classroom. This will be done through interesting, practical ground exercises, in a participative way, which the students will enjoy.

• This will be done in PT period and coordinated by PT teacher.

• Frequency needs to be decided by the school. It can be twice or even once in a month.

• For PT teacher also, it will be simple, interesting exercises to be coordinated using a handbook.

2. Imparting Value lessons

• Objective of this part is to give positive messages to the students, in order to take them to a state where they take pride in the responsible behavior.

• This can be imparted in Value School periods, in case the school has this. Else, it can be done through sharing of positive messages at prayer time. One session can be taken by Activist of the Movement. 

• From time to time, some students will have positive experience through safe and responsible behavior. Such students can be encouraged to express and share these in front of other students and commended by teachers. This will motivate other students. Positive wave can be made to spread in the school.

3. Rope in the elders for participation !

• Inform all the teachers and parents about the Kavach program through a circular. 

• Encourage them to provide a role model to the children.
