Making Indian roads safer

Multi-level education to play a crucial role to elevate safety.

- Anirudh Raheja

The sixth edition of Mahindra Transport Excellence awards set a high standard. Held on February 03, 2017, at Delhi, the awards, under the aegis of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), recognised performance, innovation and excellence in the trucking field. In what could be termed as a 14 per cent increase, 6164 case studies were undertaken, highlighting quality, positive change and innovation. The awards once again underlined Mahindra’s commitment towards girl child education through the ‘Mahindra Saarthi Abhiyaan’. The company also organised MSA Outperformer contest for MSA scholarship beneficiaries along with a short story contest to harness story telling power while making the roads safer. Jay Prakash Singh of Bharti Bulk Carriers was felicitated with the ‘Super Outperformer Driver of the Year’ award. He was handed over keys of a Mahindra Blazo 25 for being a responsible driver, and for saving lives of people. Singh cleared the stringent psychomotor and psychometric tests along with a good understanding of the traffic rules. If Singh’s wining streak reflected upon his responsible behaviour and high regard for safety, a panel discussion just ahead of the awards ceremony focused on making roads safer.
