We supported Aayam Engineering Research and Consultancy to conduct Road Safety Program in 9 different schools in Panchthar. The project was developed by Infrastructure Development Office, Panchthar. Ms. Jeena Kharel from AERC led the program and Mr. Hemant Tiwari coordinated the programs and Sahil Dahal led the site coordination. The program was supported by Nausad Ansari and Agnidhar Pandey.

The sole objective of the program was to create a road discipline regarding traffic rules to enhance the safe driving culture, targeting the fourth pillar “Safer road user” to school students, local people, drivers and other concerned stakeholders. 

Follow schools were selected for the program and 754 students were benefited by it.

As a part of the Mugling-Narayanghat Road Project, SSTN conducted 35-days long programs related to road safety and its awareness in the project influence area.

Various programs were conducted along the 36-Km road stretch and the settlements along it.
