• An immersive and hands-on learning experience for children aged 10–15 years
  • Exclusive event for Nissan families across Nissan service centres in India
  • Over 1,300 children across India participated in hands-on learning workshops
  • Encouraging curiosity, creativity, and safe learning this Children’s Day

New Delhi : In celebration of Children’s Day, Nissan Motor India organised a unique nationwide initiative — “Nissan Little Champs”, an interactive, educational, and fun-filled experience hosted across Nissan service centres in India. The event welcomed children of existing Nissan owners, offering them an exciting opportunity to step into the world of automobiles and learn about cars in a simple and engaging way.

The celebration aimed to nurture curiosity and inspire the next generation of automotive enthusiasts, bringing together 1,304 children from Nissan families across India for an engaging lineup of sessions designed exclusively for children aged 10 to 15 years.

Speaking about the initiative, Saurabh Vatsa, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India, said, “At Nissan, we believe in fostering curiosity and learning from a young age amongst children who are going to shape our world for tomorrow. The ‘Nissan Little Champs’ initiative was especially curated across our dealer facilities for children who are fascinated by cars. It brought them closer to the exciting world of Nissan cars through a safe, hands-on learning experience guided by our showroom and workshop teams. It was our way of celebrating the day and making it special for children by combining experiential learning with fun while strengthening our bond with Nissan families.”

The event began with a warm welcome and registration session, followed by three interactive modules:

  • Session 1: “Do You Know?” – Car Basics Explained

A simple, hands-on learning segment to spark curiosity about how car engines, brakes, and tyres work through engaging visual aids.

  • Session 2: “Know Your Nissan” – Learn from the Brand

Participants learned about car safety tools, Nissan’s innovation journey, and fun facts about the brand that highlighted Nissan’s global legacy.

  • Session 3: “Walk Around” – Explore the Nissan Service World

A guided tour of the service workshop and Nissan Magnite helped children connect automotive concepts to real-life operations from inspection bays to paint booths while emphasizing safety and teamwork.

The day concluded with a celebration ceremony, where each participant received a Certificate of Participation and a Nissan-branded goodieas a token of appreciation. The dealerships also captured special group photos and video messages from the children and their parents, highlighting their favorite moments and learnings.

The initiative was made possible through Nissan’s dealership network, with each service centre hosting up to 20 children selected from nearby areas. Parents accompanied their children throughout the event to ensure a safe and memorable experience.

Nissan Motor India has consistently championed child welfare through impactful CSR programs promoting healthcare, nutrition, and education for underprivileged children across India.

As part of this commitment, Nissan partnered with Smile Train India, successfully completing their collaboration in May 2024. The initiative supported 290 free cleft surgeries for children from economically weaker sections during FY23, providing life-changing treatment at Smile Train’s partner hospitals.

In 2023, Nissan also collaborated with The Akshaya Patra Foundation to support the mid-day meal program for government school students in New Delhi. Through this partnership, over 50 lakh nutritious meals were provided to 49,000 children across 300 schools, improving health, reducing micronutrient deficiencies, and enhancing school attendance and learning outcomes.

Together, these initiatives reaffirm Nissan’s long-standing belief in empowering children through access to healthcare, nutrition, and experiential learning—shaping a generation ready to dream big and #DefyOrdinary. This year’s celebration further reflects Nissan’s continued commitment to building meaningful community engagement and fostering experiential learning, embodying the brand’s ethos of making a positive difference in everyday moments.
