Prayas Campaign Promotes Worker Safety on Bullet Train Construction Sites

An awareness campaign, ‘Prayas,’ featuring a series of Nukkad Nataks (street plays), was organized to promote worker safety at the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Project sites. The initiative reached over 13,000 workers across more than 100 construction sites along the MAHSR corridor.

Conducted in two phases in June and December, the campaign aimed to educate workers about critical safety measures through engaging and interactive performances. Topics covered included proper use of safety equipment, adherence to guidelines, emergency response protocols, and precautions for working at heights.

To cater to the diverse workforce speaking various languages and dialects, the plays were presented in simple, clear language for universal understanding. The campaign covered casting yards, tunnel shafts, under-construction stations, depots, bridges, and viaducts, effectively reinforcing safety protocols and raising awareness across the project.
