Yamaha Motor India Sales Pvt. Ltd organized the ‘Yamaha Children Safety Program’ (YCSP) in Gurgaon yesterday. The Children Safety Program was held in two schools- Elegant Children’s Academy at Shanti Kunj, Bhondsi and Government High School at Harsaru near Rajiv Chowk, Gurgaon, where more than 282 enthusiastic students between the ages of 5 and 12 years attended the program. Yamaha Motor India Sales also engaged its brand mascot Zippy to promote its Yamaha Children Safety Program in these schools.
The program included making students aware about the rules to be safe on roads, along with crucial safety measures and tips for road safety through theory and practical examples. Yamaha’s brand Mascot ‘Zippy’ was also engaged to keep the interest level among kids. The kids were excited and participated in these interactive sessions, which concluded with many fun activities such as the mascot interacting and dancing with kids while educating them about vital road safety measures.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr Roy Kurian, Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Yamaha Motor India Sales Pvt. Ltd said, “We believe it is imperative that the importance of road safety is instilled in the youth as they are the key drivers in bringing about any change. We have begun the Yamaha Children Safety Program to involve young kids in an entertaining and interactive manner that can drive home key messages of safe riding. By doing so, we are not just creating awareness amongst children but also amongst the family and local communities. Also, when these youngsters grow up and are ready to buy a two-wheeler, they will remember what tips we offered them on safety while in school.”
