Sharing his thoughts on road safety awareness, Mr. Prabhu Nagaraj, Operating Officer – Brand & Communication, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India said, “Being a socially responsible corporate, HMSI is proactively inculcating safety riding habits to bring a positive change for road users at large. The development of Ranchi’s Safety Driving Education Center in association with the State Transport Department is one such safety awareness initiative that will transform license applicants of today into more responsible riders of tomorrow. We envision a collision-free India and our sustained awareness initiatives like this will enable us to realize this vision in times to come .”
