Increasing accidents on roads is a matter of great concern for the Government & the Society. Injuries,at times serious, resulting in deaths bring untold miseries to the affected person & his family. This is also a big strain on the health infrastructure of the country besides affecting productivity.
As per statistics, youth from the age of 15-24 are involved in sizable percentage of accidents. Their awareness about the causes for accidents & how to prevent the same, is felt very imperative.
Parents, schools & civil-society have important roles to play in bringing the awareness on sustainable basis.
