Interns from TISS participated in an interactive learning session on traffic and parking challenges in Puducherry, with a focus on people’s mobility and public convenience. The session was organised by the Centre for Environment Education (CEE) in collaboration with Svarnim Puducherry and created a platform for students to understand real-life urban mobility issues beyond textbooks. During the discussion, participants explored key themes such as congestion in busy junctions, lack of organised parking spaces, pedestrian safety, and the impact of increasing private vehicle use on urban livability. They reflected on how everyday mobility affects access to workplaces, schools, markets, and public services. The session also highlighted the importance of walking, cycling, and public transport as sustainable transport options. Interns actively engaged in group activities, case discussions, and experience-sharing exercises. They suggested practical, citizen-centric solutions such as designated parking zones, improved footpaths, awareness campaigns, and responsible road behaviour. The session helped students connect policy perspectives with on-ground realities and strengthened their ability to think critically about urban planning and community well-being. Overall, the programme served as both an awareness and capacity-building experience, encouraging young learners to contribute thoughtfully toward creating safer, more accessible, and people-friendly mobility systems in Puducherry.
