Furthering its efforts at training school bus staff, Tata Motors has announced plans for expanding its unique School Bus Safety program called ‘Hamare Bus Ki Baat Hai’. With this program, Tata Motors is organizing workshops to educate drivers and school bus staff on the safety of school bus travel, along with creating awareness on the softer aspects of dealing with parents and children.
After a successful pilot program across 25 schools in Mumbai, the company is now taking this initiative to over 40 cities, including the five metros – New Delhi, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Kolkata.
‘Hamare Bus Ki Baat Hai’ is an interactive training session which has been designed with inputs from various stake holders, with the objective of sensitizing school bus staff on the safety of school bus travel. Since inception, the program has helped in creating a sense of involvement among participants, increasing awareness about their duties and responsibilities, maintaining personal hygiene, general etiquette and behavior, and also taking necessary measures in case of accidents.
The schools covered in Chennai are Unity Public School, Jaya Sankar Mat Hr. Sec. School, JNN Matriculation School, Angel Matriculation School, Sethu Baskara Mat Hr. Sec.
