When the operator answered in Kannada, Pavani bravely explained the situation, provided the location, and confirmed that there was no adult with her. She stayed until the ambulance arrived and then departed. Her actions filled her with pride and boosted her confidence to report similar incidents in the future.

After the school profile audit session,the students of class VII decided to demand for a speed breaker and zebra crossing outside the school. This was a collective effort of all the 6 clubs. They started work just before Puja holidays, asking other children to write about this issue. Some wrote about witnessing accidents, challenges in crossing the road etc. The letters were collated to draft a final one. Signatures were collected from many students to finally email the Traffic department of bangalore and the BBMP. in 4 months time, the traffic police marked the zebra crossing. They mentioned that Speed breaker was not possible as the road is small but they have agreed to put rumblers. The students will be taking this up and representing this again. This is a partial victory for the students and the CMCA educators who helped them take up this issue and helped with guidance and drafting the letters to the authorities.
