SSN
Institutions, an initiative of Dr. Shiv
Nadar, Founder, HCL Group, in association
with Chennai City Traffic Police,
inaugurated a "Road to Lead- Drive Safely"
awareness campaign on 24th Feb. 2009. Mr.
Sunil Kumar, IPS Additional Commissioner of
Police Traffic along with Dr. S. Salivahanan,
Principal, SSN College of Engineering and Dr
K. Kasturi, Dean, SSN College of
Engineering, flagged off the awareness drive
at the Tidel Park Junction.
The "Road To Lead - Drive Safely" had around
180 SSN students participating over the span
of three-days from February 24 - 26, 2009,
to educate the public on road safety.
A team of 5 to 10 students acted as traffic
wardens in the major junctions starting from
the Madhya Kailash junction to
Sholinganallur. The junctions include Tidel
Park, toll gate and SRB tools, in the Rajiv
Gandhi Salai (OMR) from 9.00 - 11.00 a.m.
Across these key junctions SSN students held
signboards carrying road-safety messages on
drunken driving, over-speeding and signal
violations, to name a few. |

Dr. S. Salivahanan, Principal, SSN
Institutions said, "At SSN we believe that
students are the agents of change. Our
vision is to impart education to students
that will help them make a positive
difference in the society and the "Road to
Lead" programme is a manifestation of our
vision. I would like to thank Mr. Sunil
Kumar and the Chennai City Traffic Police
for their support and encouragement towards
this awareness drive."
Speaking at the inauguration Mr. Sunil
Kumar, IPS Additional Commissioner of Police
Traffic said, "There are a number of lives
being lost every year due to various road
accidents which stands testimony to the lack
of safety awareness among the public. I
applaud the students of SSN Institutions for
this initiative to educate the public on
safe driving.
