Schwing Stetter India Pvt Ltd, one of the country’s leading concreting equipment manufacturers, has recently partnered with Young Indians (Yi) for their ‘Chotta Cop’ initiative, that aims to train Yuva students to be certified first respondents. Over the course of the next five years, about one crore students are to become good samaritans (Farishtey) through the programme. Yi road safety summit was organized recently at the JW Marriot, New Delhi, where the awareness videos were officially launched.

Speaking at the summit on ‘The role of corporates in ensuring road safety’, VG Sakthikumar, Chairman and Managing Director, Schwing Stetter India, said, “It is a social obligation for any individual to understand why road safety matters and how road accidents not only cause injuries, but also economic losses. As a company, we always follow strict protocols at our construction sites as we are conscious about the environment and its impact on the other stakeholders involved.”

“It gives me immense pleasure to see initiatives like Chotta Cop reach the young and upcoming generation; their good samaritans act will influence more people. The videos that we have created in collaboration with Young Indians’ will reach more than a million students. Meanwhile, more corporates like us should invest and promote road safety by partnering with NGOs, local authorities, and the government to improve road infrastructure in India. Schwing Stetter India believes our success is measured not only by the machines we build but also by the lives we help protect on the roads every day.” he added.

Some of the other prominent speakers at the summit include Dr Ankit Varshney, Delhi Sports Doctor; Dr Neharika Yadav, Dental Surgeon; Jitendar Sharma, Editor-crime & Investigation, Zee Media Corporation Ltd; and SS Yadav, IPS & Special CP Traffic Police, Delhi.
