In a forward-thinking initiative for educator empowerment, DIET Karnal has launched a dedicated Auto Safety Documentary Screening as part of its educational programs for 2025. Focused on improving traffic awareness and responsible teaching practices, this special screening forms a core part of the institution’s ongoing teacher training event strategy.
The event brought together instructors from across the state, emphasizing the role of teachers in promoting road safety culture. More than just a film, the screening is integrated into interactive sessions, enabling participants to deeply engage with themes such as pedestrian safety, traffic law, and youth behavior behind the wheel.
This documentary initiative helps position DIET Karnal at the forefront of socially responsible education — creating ripple effects across classrooms and communities.
