PROJECT PROPOSAL

On
Administering Road Safety Advocacy
(Lecture cum Demonstration Programme on Road Safety)

INTRODUCTION:

Today road disaster and harrowing demise of valuable lives in road accidents is very
common in India. Evert day one can see these type of heart-rending aweful incidents by road users.
Due to rapid growth of population, industrialization, urbanization and advanced transport technology
more and more vehicles come to road to meet day to day human demands. These days almost
every person essentially depends upon the vehicles for routine works. Due to lack of adequate road
structural facilities, proper skill in driving and unawareness of traffic rules, we face so many
problems and risks in relation to our lives and property.

In India, more than 150,000 people are killed each year in road traffic accidents. That’s about 400
fatalities a day and far higher than developed countries in comparison. Now, our Prime Minister
Narendra Modiji is attempting to curb the carnage on Indian roads caused by everything from
speeding two-wheelers to cars not equipped with proper safety measures. The programme tries to
promulgate harsher penalties for traffic offenses and the same has been passed in the lower house
of parliament. About 75 to 80 per cent of cars will become compliant with Indian safety norms about
a year before they are mandatory. However, it was little relief to note that those killed on the roads
in India came down by 4,560 or 3% in 2017 from 1.51 lakh the previous year, the Supreme Court
Committee on Road Safety said in a report to the apex court. While Punjab, West Bengal
and Gujarat have shown a decline, Bihar, UP, Odisha and MP have reported more deaths.

Road accidents are increasing at a phenomenal rate in Odisha and every year thousands of
precious lives are lost due to fatal road mishaps in the State. Twenty one accidents occur every day
and seven persons are killed. According to State Transport Authority sources, there were only
16,800 motor vehicles in the State in 1961. But in 2000, the figure went up 51 times to 3, 51,385,
whereas the road length has increased by 7.4 per cent only during this period. Official sources said
in fact, there are several roads where the vehicular traffic has increased by 4 to 5 times their
capacity. Statistics for the last few years show that there is a large increase in the number of
accidents from year to year. In 2005, about 7,567 accidents were recorded in the State and at least
2,528 persons died and as many as 10,147 were injured. It is a matter of concern over the increase
in road traffic volume, the STA officials point out that old vehicles of more than 15 years of age and
young drivers in the age-group of 25 to 30 years are responsible for most of the road accidents in
Odisha.

India is a country of villages and more than 80% of its population live in rural areas. The rural
people suffer a lot due to their ignorance of traffic rules and road safety measures. They are
ignorant of precautions to be taken for handling heavy modern vehicle safety. Children play in the
streets by covering the road without any hesitation and the country men walk on the middle of the
road in company of others being unaware of the impending disaster. Even the drivers give the traffic
rules and regulations ago by unawareness of fatal next moment. Taking intoxicants and using
powerful head lights at night vehicles are driven roughly and speedly. Besides over taking the
vehicle in a competitive mood is a common phenomenon now-a-days which not only dangers the
life of the drivers but also of the life of people who use the road.

It is high time to prioritize road safety education with a focus on issues like drunk driving, driving
fast, negligent and rash driving are among the 22 main recommendations highlighted in a report
submitted recently to the ministry of road transport and highways. A working group on road safety
education has made the suggestions that assume significance in the wake of increasing fatal
accidents on the city roads and highways. Keeping this in view “Women & Child Welfare Society”
is arranging “Road Safety Awareness Programme” in different places of Odisha by availing
Grant-in-aid from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Govt. of India, New Delhi &
Regional Transport Authority, Cuttack.
