 SIRAM- Reinforcement activity (SIRAM)  was organised  to recognize and applaud individuals who conscientiously wear helmets while riding two-wheelers. While we often focus on raising awareness about helmet usage, we sometimes overlook the commendable efforts of those who already prioritize safety. This event which was organised in our campus aimed to shift that perspective and inspire those not adhering to helmet usage to reconsider their choices.It's important to note that individuals who were accompanied by passengers without helmets and those who carried more than one pillion rider were not considered for this appreciation initiative. The event celebrated a total of 55 individuals for their consistent commitment to wearing helmets.Token economy was implemented. token worth Rs.30 which can used in our college canteen was given.

By acknowledging responsible helmet usage, SIRAM aimed to create a positive ripple effect, motivating individuals who previously neglected helmet safety to adopt this crucial practice. The event's intention was not only to commend responsible behavior but also to encourage a broader culture  of safety on the roads.
