Tata Motors has announced a national-level school bus safety program, targeting all stakeholders involved in school bus travel. 
Through this program, the company aims at sensitising school children, their parents, drivers, attendants and school bus staff to prevent and minimise accidents during travel.
As part of the School Bus Safety campaign, Tata Motors has also initiated the ‘Hamare Bus Ki Baat Hai’ (for school bus attendees), ‘Safety Hamaare Bus Mein’ (mock drills on safety measures in case of a fire & safe school bus travel, for children) and ‘Dream it to Win it’ (national-level essay & painting competition for children).
The company recently conducted the ‘Hamare Bus Ki Baat Hai’ program at the Podar International School in Mumbai.
On the occasion, Mr. R. Ramakrishnan, Senior Vice President (Commercial), Commercial Vehicles Business Unit, Tata Motors, said: “Each day at countless bus stops across the country, parents entrust schools with what’s most precious to them – their children. It is a huge responsibility and one that places enormous pressure on schools and various people associated in the travel of their children. Tata Motors, through these campaigns, has partnered with parents, schools and the transport authorities, shouldering their responsibility to keep children safe while commuting to and from school. These initiatives have been designed to sensitise, motivate and train children and school bus staff on issues related to school bus travel and safety.”
Mr. Gaurav Podar, Trustee, Podar International School, observed: “Safety is of paramount importance to every school, and through these initiatives, we are happy to partner with Tata Motors in imparting a very important element of safety for our children, in school bus travel. Our school participated in the ‘Hamare Bus Ki Baat Hai’ campaign, which has been very well received by our school bus staff. We would like to thank Tata Motors for playing such an active role in our school.”
