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.
