Celebrating innovation for safer roads!

At CAG’s Road Safety Ideathon held during National Road Safety Month- January 2026, the winning team was from Government Law College, Dharmapuri. They presented us with practical, low-cost solutions to tackle speeding at accident hotspots. From optical speed bars and transverse rumble strips to tech-enabled enforcement using LiDAR and automated e-challans, their ideas combine engineering, technology, and behaviour change to save lives.

What would a cleaner, faster, fairer mobility future look like for Chennai? Buses are one of the simplest and most powerful ways to get us there. By expanding the fleet, shifting to clean energy, and upgrading bus infrastructure, we can make public transport faster, safer, and more attractive so more people choose buses over cars. Got more ideas to improve Chennai’s mobility? Drop them in the comments.

As temperatures rise, people and ecosystems must adjust to new conditions, from changing crops to storing food differently. #Adaptation helps us cope with impacts, while #mitigation reduces emissions to prevent future warming. Both are essential to living with #ClimateChange

Snacks that are fried in oil that's heated again and again are unsafe. Each reheating breaks the oil down, forming harmful compounds like trans fats and free radicals. These damage blood vessels, increase bad cholesterol, strain the liver, and raise the risk of heart disease. The food may taste the same, but the oil becomes less safe each time it’s reused. Good health is about avoiding foods prepared from reused cooking oil, limiting deep - fried foods and choosing fresher, home-cooked options whenever possible. Small, steady choices keep your body protected.

#ClimateChange is increasing #floods, #heatwaves, and extreme weather, putting people’s homes, safety, and livelihoods at risk. While some can adapt and stay safe, vulnerable communities often face the greatest impacts, showing how climate change affects all living beings unequally.

Wetlands are shaped not only by water, but by wisdom. Across generations, traditional knowledge has protected these ecosystems, sustained livelihoods, and preserved cultural heritage. This #WorldWetlandsDay, let’s recognise community wisdom as central to wetland conservation, because protecting #Wetlands also means protecting #Culture, #Biodiversity, and ways of life. #WetlandsAndTraditionalKnowledge #WorldWetlandsDay2026 #NatureAndCulture #ClimateResilience #WaterSecurity

A thought-provoking nutrition awareness program that unpacked balanced meal concepts, mindful food choices, and the realities of processed foods, including how to understand food labels. The session saw enthusiastic student involvement that encouraged healthier daily eating decisions. #EatRightTN

Rising seas may seem distant, but #GlobalWarming heats oceans and melts ice, pushing water levels higher. As coasts flood and habitats disappear, recognising how warming drives #SeaLevelRise is essential for protecting communities and planning for a changing climate.

India needs safer buses, stricter standards, and zero-tolerance for non-approved vehicles .

We need real reform: factory-built coaches only, fire-safe materials, multiple exits, mandatory inspections, and harsh penalties.

Let’s push for change, every life counts. Safety reforms can’t wait any longer.

Electricity is often seen as clean at the switch, but generating power from coal involves mining and burning fossil fuels that release greenhouse gases. Recognising where our power comes from is essential for cutting emissions and choosing cleaner, greener #RenewableEnergy.
