2.    PRACTICAL LEARNING: 9 to 12-year-olds learned how to ride their cycle safely, or as a pillion on two-wheeler and importance of safety gear on roads. To make this learning more practical and fun, children got to learn on the specially imported CRF50 motorcycles.

3.    SCIENTIFIC THEORY LEARNING MODULE: Safety riding theory session was conducted for the kids of 13-17 years as well as teachers.

4.    SPECIAL RIDER TRAINING ACTIVITY: For 16+ year children, special rider training activity was executed under the guidance of Honda’s trained safety instructors.

5.    LEARNING BECAME FUN Honda also conducted fun educational activities like road safety games and quizzes on a daily basis so that young school children learn about safe riding a fun way. 4 to 5-year-olds were taught the basic do’s and don’ts on-road usage by pictures and comics.
