Roads often take us to some amazing places,
Unfortunately not all reach their destination...
Road Safety Project @ IITD
The Road Safety Campaign was started by the alumni of IITD so as to bring constructive changes in the Road Accident scenario in India. To take their work further ahead, NSS IITD started the Road Safety Project wherein we conduct Lecture-cum-Discussion Sessions to sensitize the IIT junta on basic issues of road safety. Also we conduct internships (involving both technical as well as policy level changes) to solve road safety issues at ground level.
About Lecture cum Discussion Series (LDS):
We will be organising various lecture-cum-discussions throughout the year. Session will mainly focus on those road related aspects which we face every time while travelling on roads. The sessions would be less of lectures and more of interactive discussions, with the aim to create awareness regarding issues relating to road safety.
The First Session:
Do you know each year we lose more than 1.5 lakh people due to road-accidents ? Every 4 minutes an individual dies in India due to road accident. This ever neglected issue leads to more deaths than some of the other serious diseases. Ever considered that the root cause behind this is “our own negligence”?
Highlighting the intensity of the road safety problem across the globe and also in India, the session will cover the basic reasons for road accidents.
Date: 27th September 2016 (Tuesday)
