The initiative witnessed enthusiastic participation from around 25 students, who used creativity to communicate critical messages on road safety and civic responsibility.
The competition was designed to sensitise young minds and the wider community about the importance of disciplined and responsible behaviour on roads. Through bold colours, compelling imagery and thought-provoking slogans, students highlighted key issues such as traffic discipline, alertness, pedestrian safety and respect for traffic rules.

Highlighting the role of NSS in shaping socially committed youth, Dr Nayana Chudasama, NSS Coordinator, stated, “Road safety is a shared responsibility. By channelising students’ creativity, we are able to spread strong messages that can influence behaviour and save lives.”
Echoing similar sentiments, Dr Tejani Munshi, NSS Coordinator, added, “Creative platforms like poster-making help students express concern for societal issues while developing empathy, awareness and civic consciousness.”
