Road accidents are the prime killers in the world. Globally, more than 1.2 million people are killed on the road annually. Millions more are injured and get disabled.

According to World Calamity Report 1998, about 30 million persons were killed in the last century the world over from road accidents. Although this issue has attracted the attention of the administrators, automobile makers and the road users in the developed countries, but in India, where adequate health facility for all is still not a reality, road accidents have remained a neglected subject.

Road Safety is therefore an issue of immense human proportions, it is an issue of social proportions and it is also an issue of equity.

The need of the hour is to remove the prevalent social apathy and involve the ordinary man in saving accident victims at home, on the roadside or elsewhere.

This grave situation motivated us to register the Dr. MN Tandon Memorial Charitable Trust, popularly known as SAHAYTA, under the Rajasthan Public Trust Act 1959 (42) on 2.11.1995.
