This Chennai based
society is founded on the thought that commuters ought to take greater interest
into the transport facilities that they use daily, instead of waiting for the government
to resolve their commuting problems.
The society's
activities are as follows:
• With the help of 17 women's self help
groups, maintaining roads and spread awareness about roadmaintenance
• Adding three additional bus services
to the Manali bus terminus
• Efforts to change the double-fare timing
from 9 PM, to 10.30 PM and beyond
• Success in receiving a bus route from
the Chennai CMBT main bus terminus to Manali
Apart from such
commuter-specific activities, the society is also involved in:
• Running awareness campaigns about eye
and blood donation
• Helping improve the general knowledge
of high school students through quizzes
• Visiting orphanages and shelters for
the homeless and offering whatever help is required
• Maintaining the Manali cemetery
Functioning under the
leadership of Mr. Sridhar, a diploma holder in polytechnic studies, Manali
Commuter Welfare Society is inspiring various urban groups to become more
self-reliant in solving their daily commuting and other challenges.
