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.

Save the Planet, Think Sustainable

Sustainability is what can help a country to develop a better economy and a lifestyle for its people.
Keeping the current situation in mind Tapas Foundation set its best foot forward in strengthening the
idea of sustainable development in the cities of Jaipur and Zirakpur.

Under its campaign “Save the planet, think sustainable” which was a CSR initiative by OYO, Tapas
installed a total of 6 recycled plastic benches along with recycled plastic paver blocks in the two parks –
Hattori Park and Sardar Patel park of Jaipur, India.

In order to implement our vision of creating a greener environment, Tapas planted 50 saplings in both
the parks.

With an aim to contribute to the beauty of these parks, two glow-sign boards were also constructed
inside both the parks, respectively.

Coming to our next city Zirakpur, we installed 4 recycled plastic benches and paver blocks inside the two
parks of Zirakpur, India.

In order to contribute to add up to the beauty of these parks, we installed a glow sign board and planted
a total of 100 saplings.

Team Tapas will also ensure the maintenance of these parks for up to two years.

We recycled a total of 500 kgs of plastic in this campaign.

Through this campaign, Tapas aims to commit to the goal of maintaining these parks for the course of
two years.
