"We are organising these free camps with a view to inculcate good road safety habits among children. The objective is to help children/students utilise their holidays meaningfully and enable them to learn road safety skills in an enjoyable manner which will have a bearing on their personality in the years to come," said Special Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Muktesh Chander.
Activities such as awareness about road safety rules, traffic signs, road markings, film shows, Nukkad Nataks, first aid etc, will be undertaken. There will be question and answer sessions, competitions, and road safety literature, calendars, caps and other gifts would be provided to participants.

"We are writing to all the schools of Delhi so that maximum students participate in the camp. Road Safety Co-ordinators appointed by schools and education department have been requested to take initiative in ensuring maximum students participation," said Chander.
"We hope maximum students will enroll and benefit from these camps and use their summer vacation meaningfully and become responsible, safe and traffic rule abiding drivers in future. It is also expected that they will carry back the road safety knowledge to their homes and schools and convince their family members and friends to obey traffic rules to drive safely," said Chander.
