According to data available with SP of Udupi, 1.5 lakh people die in road accidents in India every year. As many as 130 people have lost their lives in Udupi roads in the bygone 6-7 months this year. That is why the honourable  High Court of Karnataka recently pulled up Udupi district administration for the increase in number of road accidents. The administration has since then, taken Road Safety Awareness programmes seriously in schools, colleges and public places.

First two days of the celebration prepared the students for the final address by SI of Malpe. An Art Exhibition on Road Safety kept the students alert and active. Charts displayed on the corridors of the school invited them to pay attention to a serious issue. Students were expected to observe the charts and learn. 

On the final Mr Madhu B. E, Sub inspector of Malpe Police station graced the concluding programme as the chief guest. He spoke to students and Van drivers on the causes for accidents and calamities at length. he stressed the need to be cautious while on road because accidents are not only caused because of negligent drivers and travelers but also pedestrians who don’t pay attention to walk on footpaths.

In his Presidential remarks, Rev Fr Lancy Fernandes SJ, Principal stressed the need to slow down and not hurry up with life. Protection and appreciation of the preciousness of life begins with oneself and others.
