As an automobile manufacturer, BMW Group India firmly believes that it’s not enough just to focus on passive and active safety in the vehicle, but also promote road safety in our society. With the “Be Safe, Be Smart” program we reach out to schools, and spread awareness about road safety in an engaging manner that excited our young audience, while also assessing their learnings with a pre and post evaluation.
PROJECT IMPACT
In the first two years of the program, more than 9000 students across schools in Delhi NCR attended the classroom sessions, which included discussions on traffic rules and safe road behaviour. In addition, the children applied their learnings in a simulated real-world traffic scenario by taking control of toy cars and bikes in a simulation session.
To address the key challenge of shortage of safe and potable drinking water, BMW Group India joined hands for the “CARE4WATER” initiative. The program provides hundreds of households with easy to use filters to ensure impurity free safe drinking water, thereby ensuring good health.
