About the forthcoming work<\/b><\/p>\n

The project is dedicated to the cause of justice delivery to the masses in the country.<\/p>\n

Delivery of timely and affordable justice is essential for economic growth and social welfare. The citizens\u2019 right to social goods & services, and opportunities, to become a reality, needs efficient and timely justice delivery. Similarly, without an efficient justice system, economic growth cannot come about.<\/p>\n

Targeted at a wide range of audience, ranging from the common man to the jurist, the project endeavours to find ways and means to prevent the inefficiencies, as also the delays, that have become part of our system.<\/p>\n

Preventing Road Accident Deaths<\/b><\/p>\n

Research work titled \u201cRoad Accidents \u2013 Prevention, Attention and Compensation\u201d was released on 8.12.2014 by Justice T.S. Thakur, Judge, Supreme Court of India in the presence of Justice Dalveer Bhandari, Judge, International Court of Justice.<\/p>\n

We have 1,40,000 fatal accidents every year and 5,00,000 injures. For every million passenger kilometers travelled or vehicles owned, we in India have 10 (TEN) times more fatalities than in developed countries. <\/p>\n

Prepared after a ground level survey by a Senior Advocate, it goes into a wide range of topics relating to Road Safety. The author has shown the way how such and better levels of safety minimize accidents.<\/p>\n

Topic 6 deals with Accidents and injury \u2013 some fundamentals and espouses, in connection with road safety, the philosophy of prevention being better than cure. Topic 9 goes on to point out the importance of attending to the injured in the most critical Golden Hour wherein lives are saved or lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Auto rickshaw Ambulance<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\nIt also puts forward a design invented by the author of a kit costing Rs,8,000 for converting a typical auto rickshaw into a makeshift ambulance, for timely availability and transportation to a trauma center. The convertible auto rickshaw with its kit, which was displayed at the entrance, will run at best for half an hour as auto rickshaw ambulance<\/b>, while for the remaining 23\u00bd hours, it can ferry regular passengers.<\/p>\n

It is something unique, in fact marvelous, that can help save thousands of lives till we have sufficient ambulances. <\/p>\n

Topic 12 has suggested a new form of Mediation for compensation cases. A traffic court system with emphasis on automation and computerization has been put forward in Topic 18. <\/p>\n

Some steps have also been proposed that we can take, in fact we ought to take, in the immediate future because a complete reform will take time. In the meantime, we cannot allow accidents and deaths to mount. Details of the work can be accessed at www.jcd-am.in<\/p>\n

The 727 page book was marked \u2018Not for Sale\u2019 and given free to each of the several hundred attendees.<\/p>\n

The author Dr. Arun Mohan, Sr. Advocate has been on a mission to serve the society and for that reason, he had carried out this ground level research and come up with solutions.<\/p>\n
