Traffic rules to be taught in schools, Modi to launch the project

Nearly 247 schools in Vadodra are going to have a traffic period once a week. School children will be taught traffic rules in an enjoyable way.

With an intention of teaching traffic rules to children, a comic style book explaining traffic rules has been prepared by Traffic Awareness Sale (TAS).

TAS will prep one teacher from each school. After that on any day of the week the students can be taught about traffic rules by the teacher. On 17 July the book will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Narendra Modi at Sayaji Rao Auditorium.

Nilesh Shukla, an officer with TAS said that the syllabus for the traffic book for children from 1 to 6 standards was done in the Adult Education Department of the MS University. The syllabus is of 20 hours. 247 teachers in charge of 1 standard in different schools will be taught. The students from 1 to 6 standards will be taught in an enjoyable way. It is believed that the students of 8 to 11 will be taught in the second phase.

Satish Sharma, Police commissioner of Vadodra and TAS chairperson, said that India tops in the number of deaths by road accident. Nearly 1, 30, 000 people die every year in road mishaps in India.
