Tata Motors trains school bus staff through 'Hamare Bus Ki Baat Hai'

Furthering initiatives to promote safe school bus travel, Tata Motors held ‘Hamare Bus Ki Baat Hai’, at Springfield School, Bangalore, a school bus safety programme, for school bus staff and drivers, aimed at educating them on safety and how it is to practiced, to prevent and minimise accidents during travel. Besides the programme also aims at sensitising participants about the softer aspects of their respective jobs, like dealing with children and parents while on the job. Around 70 of Springfield’s School bus staff were trained at its campus in Ramanagara, Karnataka.

Sandeep Kumar, Business Head – Commercial Vehicle - Passenger, Tata Motors Ltd. said, “Each day, at countless bus stops across the country, parents entrust schools with what's most precious to them - their children! Undoubtedly, this is a huge responsibility that places enormous pressure on schools and various people associated in transporting their children to and from school. Through this campaign, Tata Motors is partnering with parents, schools and transport authorities to help manage this responsibility. We have trained over 17,000 school bus staff so far”

In 2014 alone, Tata Motors trained over 15,000 school bus staff on school bus safety across 41 cities, 295 schools, through 302 sessions, under the 'Hamare Bus Ki Baat Hai' school bus safety programme. 'Hamare Bus Ki Baat Hai' began in 2013 with interactive sessions designed with the objective of sensitising school bus staff, on the safety of children during school bus travel.
