Jamshedpur, Jan. 19: As part of Nuvoco�s ongoing Road Safety month celebration, Jojobera Cement Plant (JCP) organised an awareness programme on Road Safety for the students of Kerala Samajam Model School (I.C.S.E English Medium).
Nandini Shukla, Principal of Kerala Samajam Model School, inaugurated the programme with the JCP team, school teachers and approximately 250 students in attendance.
The programme started with an audio-visual on road safety followed by a briefing session for students on various traffic rules, acts and responsibilities of the driver by JCP Team, which comprised of Dharmesh Singh, Safety Officer; Syed Ahmed, Safety Officer; Abhishek Pal, Safety Officer, Maya Tiwary, Deputy Manager-Trainings; and Gautam Chakroverty, Defensive Driving Trainer.
