Update :
The school where this initiative was taken is the Cauvery Global School (CBSE) and Cauvery Matriculation School, Trichy. The person behind this initiative – Chinnaraj Sundararaman – is the President of the School Governing Council.
Thank you for taking the initiative to convert the Pledge into something more meaningful to the students of your school. The younger generation is a greater hope for us, and if we are able to get them to understand the need for disciplined defensive driving, it will make a tremendous impact.

Thank you, Sandhya Lovekar, for spreading the word via Facebook. This is her message
“An example of the power of social media when used well. I had posted a list of road safety rules written by my sister-in-law, Shubhangi Tambwekar, as part of VIKRAM, a road safety initiative of The Arundhati Foundation, established in memory of my niece.
I got a message from Sangitha Krishnamurthi, who told me that a friend of hers had seen this post, and made a board with these points, which is now put up in the parking lot of a school in Trichy. The school has 850 students in their co-ed division, and 600 in their matriculation school which is all-girls.
Please thank your friend, Sangi, for this initiative. Let the word spread. Let no more parents, family, and friends grieve at the senseless deaths of their loved ones.”

Thank you, Chinnaraj Sundara Raman. Your initiative is highly appreciated, since being a change agent is hard. But your small step gives us hope that our message resonates, and that it will spread. Thank you!
