2. Mission 10Vi Pass
• “Mission 10vi Pass” (MDP) is a Pune City wide
campaign to significantly improve traffic discipline
& is a brain-child of SPTM. (Save Pune Traffic
Movement)
• As the traffic discipline in Pune city is
deteriorated to it’s highest low, time has come
for “back-to-school”.
• The campaign is a citizen’s campaign with a step-
by-step reinforcement of traffic rules, starting
from the simple to more difficult rules to
implement. (10 steps/ standards)
• The campaign is supported by Govt. authorities
like PMC, Police & RTO along with Corporates,
educational institutes and other citizen’s bodies.

3. Mission 10Vi Pass
• As a part of on-road awareness and
“Visibility” of the campaign, it was decided
along with Police (DCP Traffic Mr. Manoj
Patil) that Cummins & SPTM volunteers
would create awareness on select crossings
in Pune, where traffic infrastructure is in
place (Signals & Zebras in working
condition).
• This part was named as “Opration Ishara
(alarm)”, which will be then followed by
“Operation Achanak (Sudden action on
violators)” carried out by Police.
• Sections of busy Karve Road were selected
(Nal Stop & Khandujibaba Chowk at Deccan
Gymkhana)

4. Mission 10Vi Pass
• This on-road activity was very well led by
Cummins India Limited (Kothrud Plant) .
Besides sponsoring awareness placards, over 120
volunteers from Cummins also participated in the
activity.
• The activity was also supported by 30 MBA
students of RIHMS( Research Institute of Health,
Science & Management, Pune)
• Similar activity was carried out in Dec-09 as well.
At that time about 100 volunteers from Cummins,
participated in the activity.
• These volunteers worked closely along with Police
and wardens in the busy time slots of 9.00am-
11.00am on 2-3-4 March 2010.

5. Mission 10Vi Pass
• While Cummins volunteers took the morning slots,
the evening slots were covered by RIHMS & SPTM
volunteers.
• The entire activity was pre-decided and supported
by Police under the guidance of API Mr.
Sureshkumar Raut of Kothrud Police station & PI
Kutwal of Deccan Police station.
• Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic Division) Mr.
Manoj Patil visited us on 3rd March’10 and appreciated
our campaign in support of improving traffic
discipline.

Week. DCP Patil also appreciated Cummins volunteers
for wearing safety jackets while conducting the
activity.
