3. Road Safety Patrol
The Road Safety Patrol was inaugurated on the 6th of December 2018. At present there are over 50 cadets (boys & girls) who have enrolled for the program. Training is done in the school campus by the Tamil Nadu Traffic Warden Officers.
The RSP scheme aims at grooming students in road safety rules, equipping them to become better pedestrians and drivers when they grow up. The students’ exposure in the scheme helps them to understand traffic rules better and share their knowledge with fellow students.
