In a dedicated effort to enhance road safety awareness, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has been steadfastly working towards creating safer roads through its flagship initiative, the Toyota Safety Education Programme (TSEP) – "Road Safety – My Right, My Responsibility." Continuing this commitment, TKM announced the successful culmination of the second year of its inaugural batch at the Annual TSEP event, held for the second consecutive year in Bangalore.

The event was graced by the presence of Chief Guest Dr. N V Prasad, IAS – Secretary, Transport & Labour Department, Government of Karnataka, along with senior leadership from TKM – Mr. B Padmanabha, Executive Vice President, Manufacturing. Designed with the mission to instil a strong sense of road responsibility among future road users, TSEP strategically engages school children, empowering them to become road safety ambassadors and advocates within their communities.

Following the successful culmination of today’s event in Bangalore, the TSEP is poised to expand to other major cities in 2025, with sessions scheduled in Delhi on 7th February, a second batch in Bangalore on 8th February, and Mumbai on 11th February. This year, the program aims to engage over 70,000 school children and 600 teachers across 140 schools in these cities and will remain steadfast in its pursuit of zero road fatalities, empowering future generations to lead India toward safer and more responsible road usage.

TKM’s holistic approach to safety is built on its "Real World Safety" philosophy, integrating safe vehicle manufacturing, user education, and improvements to traffic environments to tackle India’s pressing road safety challenges?.  Launched in 2007, TSEP continues to be a cornerstone of TKM's road safety initiatives, reaching over 800,000 students nationwide. The program adopts a "Child to Community" approach, empowering school children to act as road safety ambassadors within their families and communities.  TSEP follows a unique and impactful ABC Approach—focusing on raising Awareness about road safety rules, encouraging positive Behavioural Change, and driving engagement through impactful Campaigns. This comprehensive framework is designed to instil a deep understanding of road safety practices among students, fostering responsible behaviour and long-term commitment to safer road usage. Beyond student engagement, TSEP also empowers schools by providing structured road safety training for teachers, enhancing their capacity to educate and guide students on this critical issue. Moreover, the program serves as a catalyst for integrating road safety education into school curricula, ensuring sustained learning and community impact.

A standout feature of the event was the creative participation of students, who enthusiastically engaged in various activities such as poster-making, skits, songs, Mad Ads, and fact-based video presentations. These interactive formats provided students with a platform to showcase innovative ideas and solutions for promoting road safety, making the learning process both informative and enjoyable.

The program's impact has been clearly measurable, with evaluations showing a substantial rise in road safety awareness. Awareness levels among participants increased from 39% to 60% in the first year and from 59% to 77% in the second year. These results highlight the program’s effectiveness in instilling critical road safety knowledge and influencing positive behavioural change.

To foster ongoing engagement, each participating school established dedicated Road Safety Clubs, guided by teachers. These clubs served as hubs for peer-to-peer learning, enabling students to collaborate and actively participate in sustaining road safety initiatives within their schools. With enthusiastic participation from schools and teachers in the TSEP program and their commitment to driving the initiative forward, TKM extends heartfelt gratitude to all partner schools for their invaluable support.

By focusing on school children, TKM has strategically tapped into the most influential segment of our population—the youth—who can inspire and lead change within their families and neighbourhoods. The creativity and enthusiasm showcased by the students today are a testament to how well-structured programs like TSEP can nurture awareness and responsibility at a young age. Toyota’s proactive approach in integrating education with actionable community outreach sets a benchmark for how corporations can contribute to national safety goals. I am confident that initiatives like TSEP will play a pivotal role in building a safer and more responsible society for future generations.”
