under a lot of pressure. Therefore, road safety is one of the most serious public health issues in our country. It has
an impact on everyone, whether one drives a vehicle, walks or rides a cycle. Road safety refers to the measures
which must be adopted by everyone while using roads. These safety methods are meant for reducing the risk of
accidents and injuries or causalities on the road. These rules must be followed by all users of roads including
pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, and bus and truck drivers. Safety methods also relate to the construction, layout of
roads as well as traffic regulation systems. So, we can summarizes that road safety involves:
• The design of roads and highways.
• Laws pertaining to traffic and vehicles.
• Systems of traffic safety and control.
• Driver education.
• School student's education.
• Traffic regulation and road safety signs.
• Motor vehicle safety inspection and maintenance.

Keeping our roads safe is not that difficult a task. Imagine if everyone follows simple safety measures and traffic
rules, there will be no accident! In this Unit, you will understand the various types of road safety measures to be
adopted, and the importance of safety rules, road signs, traffic signals and rules, driving rules, registration and
licensing adopted in our country.

While driving, you should carry your driving license, registration certificate, insurance certificate and pollution
control certificate. Transport and commercial vehicle drivers should carry the permits and vehicle fitness
certificates also.

2.2 Importance of segregation of Wet waste and Dry waste

Waste segregation is not merely a recommended practice; it's an essential component of sustainable waste
management systems. Its significance extends far beyond mere convenience, impacting environmental
preservation, resource conservation, and human health. Here's an elaboration on why waste segregation is crucial:
• Environmental Preservation: Waste segregation plays a pivotal role in reducing environmental pollution
and degradation. When different types of waste are segregated at the source, it becomes easier to manage
and treat them appropriately. This prevents the contamination of soil, water bodies, and air, preserving
ecosystems and biodiversity. For instance, segregating biodegradable waste from non-biodegradable waste
reduces methane emissions from landfills, a potent greenhouse gas contributing to climate change.

• Resource Conservation: Segregating waste allows for the recovery and recycling of valuable resources.
Materials like paper, glass, metals, and plastics can be recycled and reused instead of being disposed of in
landfills or incinerated. This conserves natural resources, reduces energy consumption, and mitigates the
need for extensive raw material extraction. Moreover, recycling reduces the carbon footprint associated
with manufacturing processes, contributing to climate change mitigation efforts.

• Promotion of Circular Economy: Waste segregation is a fundamental principle of the circular economy,
where resources are kept in use for as long as possible, maximizing their value and minimizing waste
generation. By segregating waste into recyclables, organic matter, and non-recyclables, communities can

B.E, Dept. of ISE, CiTech 2023-24 Page 19

Efficient Garbage Disposal System AICTE Activity Program

create closed-loop systems where materials are continuously recycled, repurposed, or composted, reducing
reliance on virgin resources and minimizing waste generation.

• Reduced Health Risks: Proper waste segregation reduces health risks associated with exposure to
hazardous materials. When hazardous waste, such as chemicals, batteries, or electronic devices, is
segregated and disposed of safely, it prevents contamination of soil, water, and air, safeguarding public
health. Similarly, separating biomedical waste, such as syringes or medical waste, from regular household
waste prevents the spread of infectious diseases and protects waste handlers and the community from
health hazards.

• Compliance with Regulations: Many jurisdictions have regulations mandating the segregation of waste
at the source. Compliance with these regulations is not only legally required but also essential for
maintaining public health and environmental standards. By adhering to waste segregation guidelines,
individuals, businesses, and communities ensure they are in alignment with legal requirements and
contribute to building a more sustainable society.

• Community Engagement and Awareness: Waste segregation fosters community engagement and
awareness about environmental issues. By actively participating in waste segregation initiatives,
individuals and communities become more conscious of their consumption patterns, waste generation
habits, and the environmental impact of their actions. This heightened awareness often leads to broader
sustainability efforts, such as energy conservation, water efficiency, and support for environmentally
friendly practices.

In conclusion, waste segregation is a cornerstone of sustainable waste management, offering numerous

environmental, economic, and social benefits. By segregating waste at the source and adopting responsible waste
management practices, individuals and communities can contribute to a healthier planet and ensure a more
sustainable future for generations to come.

2.3 Observation and Learning

CHAPTER 5
HELPING LOCAL SCHOOLS TO ACHIEVE GOOD RESULTS
AND ENHANCE THEIR ENROLLMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION
5.1 Introduction

Education is the process of facilitating learning or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits.
Quality education is one that focuses on the whole child-the social, Emotional, mental, physical, and cognitive
development of each student regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or geographic location. It
prepares the child for life, not just for testing.

Quality in education: Access to education is important, but just as important is learning basic knowledge and skills
in the classroom. Many children across the world cannot read, despite of having attended school for several years.
High-quality education is a prerequisite for learning and human development.

Research shows that high quality, early learning experiences can improve a child's health, social- emotional skills,
and academic readiness for school. Furthermore, children are more likely to graduate high school, pursue higher
education or job training, and earn higher incomes. Education enables upward socioeconomic mobility and is a
key to escaping poverty. Over the past decade, major progress was made towards increasing access to education
and school enrolment rates at all levels, particularly for girls. Nevertheless, about 260 million children were still
out of school in 2018-nearly one fifth of the global population in that age group. And more than half of all
children and adolescents worldwide are not meeting minimum proficiency standards in reading and mathematics.

Enrolment in primary education in developing countries has reached 91%, but 57 million children remain out of
school. More than half of children who are not enrolled in school live in sub-Saharan Africa . An estimated 50%
of out-of-school children of primary school age live in conflict-affected 103 million youth worldwide are still
illiterate, and more than 60% of before the coronavirus crisis.

The proportion of children and youth out of primary and secondary school had declined from 26 per cent in 2000
to 19 per cent in 2010 and 17 per cent in 2018.

B.E, Dept. of ISE, CiTech 2023-24 Page 27

 Chapter 5 AICTE Activity Program

mathematics and literacy skills. Some 750 million adults - two thirdsof them women-remained illiterate in 2016.
Half of the global illiterate population lives in South Asia, and a quarter live in sub-Saharan Africa.
In 10 low-and middle-income countries, children with disabilities were 19per cent less likely to achieve minimum
proficiency in reading than those without disabilities.

5.2 Purpose
The primary aim of this initiative is to foster inclusive and equitable access to quality education for all students,
regardless of their background or circumstance. Education is not merely about imparting knowledge; it is a
transformative force that liberates the intellect, unlocks creativity, and instills a sense of self-respect and dignity in
individuals.

Implicit in this overarching purpose are four key aims that underscore the multifaceted nature of education and its
role in shaping individuals and societies:

1. Academic Achievement and Social Mobility: Our goal is to provide students with the academic foundation
and support necessary to excel academically and realize their aspirations for social mobility. By equipping
students with the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to succeed, we aim to break down barriers to
advancement and create pathways for upward social mobility.
2. Character and Mindset Development: Beyond academic excellence, we recognize the importance of
fostering positive character traits and mindsets in students. Through values-based education and holistic
development programs, we aim to cultivate qualities such as resilience, empathy, integrity, and perseverance.
3. Social Cohesion: Education plays a vital role in promoting social cohesion and fostering a sense of
belonging and community among diverse groups of students. By creating inclusive learning environments that
celebrate diversity and promote mutual respect, we aim to break down barriers and build bridges across cultural,
social, and economic divides.
4. Social Equality: Central to our mission is the commitment to addressing systemic barriers and disparities
in education to ensure that all students have equal access to opportunities for learning and growth. By targeting
resources and support to underserved communities and marginalized groups, we seek to narrow the achievement
gap and create more equitable educational outcomes.
