While other participants reiterated the same old ideas of strict traffic rules, improvement in road networks and carefulness of motorists, Nepali team emphasized on active participation of all organs of society for a better traffic system. "We will not let our concept remain only in papers," said Asmita Giri, one of the students, after winning the award. "We will implement it practically."
In December, British Council had asked students of all technical schools to choose a problem and then work out an innovative solution.
Their concept was adjudged best at regional and central levels before being sent to the international competition. The British Council has provided Rs 1,000 to the award-winning girls´ team to implement its concept.
