FLAGSHIP CAMPAIGNS

Road Safety is critical issue with more than 1 reported fatality every single minute in India. Thus there are many dimensions to the problem. Unfortunately India does not have as many running initiatives or organizations and we too, are not huge to address all issues. We thus have focused only on behavioural aspect of driving training, which nobody is currently into and we believe, this is the most critical area which if addressed properly has the potential to significantly bring down casualties. We thus have designed initiative around RSDAS – which is Road Safety Driver Accreditation System – which actually trains drivers on why to drive safely, rather than how to drive, which is self learned or taught in driving schools. We train drivers on behavioural aspects of safe driving, importance of customer etiquette, women & passenger safety and believe if drivers are incentivised to drive safely, they will learn it, take it seriously and behavioural intervention will have long lasting safe impact also leading to their betterment of personality, family life and personal health & hygiene.

The drivers are neglected lot. They suffer from public apathy, harassments while driving, get attracted into alcohol, smoking, STD’s, stress because of long days away from families, and all these contribute to un safe driving. Behavioural interventions designed in this program can help them overcome some of these by incentivising them monetarily in doing it. This is what RSDAS grades or certification aims to achieve. When normal public / customer starts demanding RSDAS Certified driver, they will be compelled to undergo trainings, refresher courses, view etiquette and safety records seriously and this can bring sea change in Road Safety. This initiative is thus in itself huge, scalable, and we thus are looking for volunteers and associations to implement this across India, in all regions and a small successful attempt has already proven itself and there is good response coming in to replicate this in other parts of India.
