Signal School Bus not just a vehicle, but a strong bridge connecting kids to mainstream of society: SC judge

“WHEN WE see a child at a traffic signal, a thought comes to mind, and when the signal turns green, we move forward, but the child remains at the signal. Signal School teaches us to look at that child with a different and respectful eye. A child standing at the signal should not be seen as just a child asking for help, but as a child who has the ability to go to school and study, play, make friends and dream of the future,” Supreme Court judge and National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) Executive Chairman Justice Vikram Nath said on Saturday.

Elaborating on the project, Justice Nath said that the initiative does not wait for the child to reach the education system, but “takes education to the child's home”. “After contacting family and providing basic education and culture, he/she should be admitted to a regular government school.

Hence, the Signal School Bus is not just a vehicle, but a strong bridge connecting the child to the mainstream of society. This success in Ahmedabad will now brighten the future of Surat's children as well.” Praising the working style in Gujarat, he added, “Here, ideas are not just left on paper; they are brought down to the ground level.
