The Auto Expo has also proved to be a paradise for performers. Various theatre groups have performed street plays on the theme of road safety and the importance of proper driving practices such as wearing helmet and avoiding rash driving. Gyan Mandir Public School performed a street play on road safety and organ donation on Monday, February 12. Considering the cases of road accidents taking place in Delhi and all over the country each year, such initiatives by cultural groups assume all the more meaning.

On Sunday, February 11, there was a splendid end to the busy and important weekend with an energetic dance performance at the anti-counterfeiting mood zone

The Auto Expo 2018 has been at the forefront of spreading awareness about road safety measures. It is a welcome sign that the expo which introduces many glitzy and high-end vehicles is also making masses aware about importance of road safety through the same platform. According to a data released in December 2016 by Geneva based International Road Federation,  India accounts for highest number of road deaths in the world. This proves that India needs more of such educational initiatives on road safety measures.
