An interactive awareness program was organized in partnership with CEE, focusing on the growing challenges related to traffic congestion, parking pressures, and overall public mobility. The session aimed to create a platform for citizens to better understand the structural issues behind urban mobility and to collaboratively explore possible improvements to local transportation systems.

Participants engaged in guided discussions on practical measures that both the public and government can adopt—from encouraging non-motorized transport and responsible parking behaviour to strengthening policy enforcement, redesigning public spaces, and integrating sustainable mobility practices. The dialogue emphasized the importance of shared responsibility in creating safer and more efficient commute environments.

A group of 16 students from TISS participated as part of their field study exposure, enabling them to observe real-world urban challenges and community engagement processes. Their involvement added an academic perspective to the conversation, fostering deeper reflections on policy, governance, and citizen participation.

The program helped bring diverse voices together, reinforcing the need for collaborative problem-solving in addressing mobility issues and supporting ongoing efforts toward a more organized and people-friendly urban environment.
