Yamaha conducts Safe Riding Science programme in Pune
India Yamaha Motor's Safe Riding Science programme made its way to Pune this year. It was attended by 100 students between the age group of 8 to 13 years. The Kidz YSRS training session is essentially a program organized by Yamaha every year to make young kids aware of the importance of safe riding and how imperative it is for a rider to adopt safety measures while riding a bike. It was first introduced in India in 2008.
The day long programme was divided into two sessions with the first being a theoretical session and the second a practical one wherein the kids were taught the basics of road safety, importance of using the proper protective riding gear and also how to ride a bike (Yamaha TTR 50 and PW 50 were used). Licensed and trained riders oversaw the entire session.
Speaking on the occasion, Roy Kurian, national business head, India Yamaha Motor, said, "Yamaha has been promoting road safety/ safe driving habits since almost four years now. The company believes that it is imperative that the knowledge and importance of road safety is instilled in the youth of the nation as they are the key drivers in bringing about any change. Hence, we started the Kids YSRS activity in 2008 to involve the youngsters in an entertaining and interactive manner that would drive home the key messages of safe riding. By doing so, we are not just creating awareness amongst children but also amongst the local communities in the proximity. We want to teach the children, the nuances of riding safely so that when they grow up and start riding bikes they are well aware of traffic rules, road safety and proper riding techniques. It gives us immense pleasure that the programme has proven to be a huge success since its inception."
