Street Play on Electrical Safety Awareness
Event Report: Street Play on Electrical Safety Awareness
Creative Outreach: "Bijli" – An Electrical Safety Awareness Campaign
Organized By: IEEE PES Student Branch Chapter at the Department of Electrical Engineering JSPM’s Rajarshi Shahu College of Engineering
Date: 13th January 2026
Venue: Department of Electrical Engineering C-Building
Target Audience: Students, Faculty, and Non-Teaching Staff
Objective:
Electrical safety is an essential aspect of daily life, especially in academic institutions where electrical equipment is widely used. However, unsafe practices such as improper wiring, overloading sockets, and careless handling of electrical appliances are often ignored. To address this issue, the IEEE Student Branch of JSPM’s RSCOE organized a creative outreach program combining a street play and a safety awareness rally, aiming to promote practical electrical safety awareness among the campus community.
The main objectives of the event were:
-
To spread awareness about basic electrical safety rules in an engaging and understandable manner.
-
To connect theoretical electrical concepts with real-life applications.
-
To educate students and staff about common electrical hazards in hostels, classrooms, and homes.
-
To encourage safe practices and reduce negligence related to electrical usage.
Street Play on Electrical Safety Awareness (Nukkad Natak)
The event featured a street play titled “Bijli”, designed to communicate electrical safety concepts through entertainment. Electricity was personified as a dramatic character, making technical ideas such as voltage, resistance, and electrical shock easier to understand for a non-technical audience.
The storyline revolved around the interaction between “Bijli” and a careless student character, highlighting how negligence can lead to dangerous situations. Through humor, local language, music, and choreography, the play demonstrated key safety aspects such as the importance of earthing, dangers of touching live wires, risks of water conductivity, and the consequences of bypassing protective devices.
The engaging performance attracted a large audience and successfully maintained attention while delivering important safety messages.
Safety Awareness Rally
To further strengthen the message delivered through the street play, a Safety Awareness Rally was organized across the campus. IEEE student volunteers participated enthusiastically, carrying placards and chanting slogans related to electrical safety.
The rally focused on the following key areas:
One Socket, One Load Rule to prevent overloading and short circuits.
Importance of proper earthing and safe plug usage.
Awareness about MCB and ELCB as essential protective devices.
Avoiding the use of damaged or exposed electrical cables.
Basic emergency response actions during electrical shock incidents.
The rally helped extend the reach of the awareness campaign and ensured that safety messages were visible to a broader audience.
