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.
