1. Background
National Transport Day was observed on 8 September 2026 at Jayasurya Convention Hall, Madanayakanahalli, Bengaluru, by the Akhila Bhartiya Transport Association (ABTA). The programme was organised to recognise and appreciate the significant contribution of the transport community to the economy and society.
The programme is generally scheduled to be conducted on 6 September every year. However, this year’s programme was postponed to 8 September 2026 due to technical issues faced by the organisers.
2. Coordination and Planning
During the planning of the National Transport Day programme, the Program Manager of Telerad Foundation/ATHCC Bengaluru coordinated with Mr Prakash Pandey, President of KGTA and Vice President – South Zone, ABTA.
During the coordination, Mr Prakash Pandey offered an opportunity for the Apollo Tyres Health Care Centre to organise health and welfare activities for the transport community as part of the National Transport Day programme.
Based on this coordination, the programme manager planned and organised a Health Check-up Camp and Blood Donation Camp at the event venue in collaboration with the transport association.
3. Health Check-up Camp
The Apollo Tyres Health Care Centre (ATHCC), Bengaluru, conducted a health camp specifically for members of the transport community attending the programme.
A total of 75 beneficiaries received healthcare services through the camp. The initiative provided an opportunity for transporters and drivers to access preventive health services and understand the importance of regular health screening.
The participation of the ATHCC team at the programme also helped create greater awareness about the healthcare services available through the Apollo Tyres Health Care Centre.
4. Blood Donation Camp
As part of the National Transport Day activities, a Blood Donation Camp was also organised to encourage voluntary blood donation among members of the transport community and other participants.
A total of 31 units of blood were successfully collected during the camp. The participation demonstrated the willingness of the transport community to contribute towards a valuable social cause.
5. Visibility and Community Engagement
The National Transport Day programme provided an important platform for the Apollo Tyres Health Care Centre to engage directly with the wider transport community.
The presence of the ATHCC team and the successful conduct of both the health camp and blood donation camp significantly enhanced the visibility of Apollo Tyres Health Care Centre’s services among transport association members, transport owners, drivers, and other stakeholders.
Several association members and transport owners appreciated the healthcare services provided by ATHCC and expressed their positive feedback regarding the initiative. The programme also created opportunities to strengthen relationships with transport associations and explore further health and welfare activities for the transport community.
