Children of today are the future generation. The values systems that we ingrain in them today form their behaviour tomorrow. With 40% of our population lesser than 25 years in age, there will be a big load on the roads in next few years. This growth in population will witness more road usage and more opportunities of on road misbehaviour. Honking of horn, teasing of women drivers, wrong overtaking, over speeding, misbehave with passengers, bullying the weaker ones on roa, littering of roads, spitting gutkha pan etc. are some of the incidents where we believe that as a society we express our conduct.
Compare the above scenario with your On road drive in the US or any developed country. People are rushing to reach their offices. Yet, there are no excessive honking, overtaking, irrational speeds, wrong side driving. There is a complete order and everyone obeys the rules and protocol. All in all, the behaviour on Road expresses ones character.
With the young Indians exposed to Atal tinkering labs and getting an early exposure to technology, the hackathon - Character-On-Road is an opportunity to give shape to their imagination and thoughts in which the school students can participate (individually or in teams up to 5 members).
We believe that you are interested in the concept "Character-on-road" and wish to know more about it.
Kindly find below a brief summary of the concept and how you can benefit from it:
