In a collaborative drive to ensure road safety, Tapas Foundation along with Confederation of Indian
Industry(CII), Young Indians & Yi Bhopal conducted a Road Safety Awareness Campaign in Bhopal,
Madhya Pradesh. We inaugurated the campaign by taking over the road through a Bike Rally where 40
riders came along in their gear and glory to spread the message of road safety. We collaborated with
Bhopal Riders Community for the rally.

With the support of IEHE NSS Bhopal, we performed 10 street plays on road safety in Bhopal city and
Adampur Chhawani. Street play has always been a great medium for us to connect with the public. As a
part of the campaign, we created awareness about sensible honking in and near 15 hospital premises in
Bhopal. We also hosted an awareness session for ISBT bus and highway truck drivers on various safety
measures that they should always follow.

Team Tapas also engaged with children during the campaign but on a more colourful note – through
drawing and quiz competitions. We covered 15 schools in the city and screened a short film – Chota Cop
for the students which is based on road safety. With Foster For Furrballs, an organisation working for
animal welfare, we ensured the safety of stray cattle who are often the victims of road accidents,
especially during the night. We did a radium strip drive to cover their horns with neon reflective bands
which will make them visible during the night and protect them from any unforeseen accidents.
It was a very fulfilling and effective campaign where we came together to ensure road safety. We want
to thank our collaborative partners – We Care, Young Indians Bhopal, Bhopal Riders Community, IEHE
NSS Bhopal, Foster For Furrballs and Mayank Kapoor for their generous contribution that made this
campaign a great success.

Digitising Education

India has the largest adolescent population in the world, 253 million, and every fifth person is between  10 to 19 years. India stands to benefit socially, politically and economically if this large number of  adolescents are safe, healthy, educated and equipped with information and life skills to support the  country’s continued development.  

Keeping the current situation in mind, and to help from the underprivileged sector of our country Tapas  foundation as a campaign partner with Ramboll India distributed 51 Lenovo tabs to the underprivileged  students of  

*Govt. Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya (Raja Ram Mohan Roy), Hauz Rani, Malviya Nagar in New Delhi.* 

Covid-19 has been an extremely challenging phase for the students who did not have any access to  electronic gadgets to cope up with their online studies. Tapas Foundation, through this campaign, will be  focusing on the academic growth of these children and will be taking their lectures on different subjects  for the duration of 1 year. We shall also keep a record of their performance and will help them in  excelling in the academic sphere.  

According to the report of the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO), 32 million Indian children of age up  to 13 years have never attended any school, the majority of them belonging to the socially  disadvantaged class (2014). And, when it comes to quality education, there is an extreme shortage of  qualified and dedicated teachers. Evidently, nothing extraordinary can be expected from students. 

Through this campaign we aim to impact the lives of young students who do not have any access to  electronic gadgets and are unable to make the right use of technology due to their economical  conditions. Tapas has always believed in the motto “awareness is the first step to social reform” which is  why we wish to end all the barriers that might serve as a hurdle in between the lives of these young  students and their academic growth.
