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.
Planting trees equates to planting lives therefore Plantation Drives are what can help to create a better world.
To strengthen the cause of planting more trees and creating a pollution free environment, Tapas Foundation in collaboration with India Is us under Hilti India’s CSR initiative organised a plantation drive on 5th July , at Tavrekere Middle School, Bangalore, India.
Under this campaign we planted 56 saplings along with the volunteers and members of Hilti India. The day was filled with fun- activities. All the students along with the school Principal actively participated in the drive.
The enthusiasm and zeal shown by the students of the school during the plantation drive was indeed commendable.
To appreciate the efforts made by the members of team Hilti and the Principal of Tavrekere Middle School, Tapas rewarded them with momentos to acknowledge their efforts for becoming a part of the big change.
The campaign turned out to be a huge success because of everyone’s collective cooperation.
