Building Brighter Futures Through Kindness.
Sahayta was envisioned by Dr. Maya Tandon in 1995 involving the participation of the masses to contribute to the process of road strategies by learning the art of saving the life of a road accident victim. Its mission was focused on saving the lives of accident victims by training manpower in “Road Safety & Life Safety” and motivating them to come to the rescue of the injured. Our approach and experiences have vulnerable road users who are caught unawares in an accident. Their attention gets focused on the Post-Accident scenario where instant help is made available not only to take care of the grave injuries but also to transport the injured in the correct method so that more lives are saved.

Chairperson “Sahayta”
Dr. Maya Tandon, 88 Years Female. Chairperson “Sahayta”. Former HoD in Anaesthesia and Superintendent Paediatric J K Lon Hospital, S M S Medical College, Jaipur. After superannuation in the year 1995, she ventured to create awareness on instant management of a road accident victim by the bystanders at the site of an accident to save innocent human lives in which ‘India Leads the World in Road Deaths’ - WHO.
The American Heart Association (AHA) is an international research organization advocating the Basic Life Support (BLS) course on heart-related issues while the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) advocates sequential handling of a road accident by the bystanders. Having served as a senior anaesthesia faculty, she named her concept the ‘Basic Life Saving’ (BLS) Course incorporating both the above elements which today, after 30 years has been rewarded in the form of the 4th highest civilian Padma Shri award on the 22nd April 2024 by Her Excellency the President of India, Smt. Draupadi Murmu in the presence of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.
The award is a combination of joint efforts by senior medical and administrative officials of Sahayta and their farsighted vision to groom youth as officers to carry this torch forward in the country.
Empower citizens to prevent accidents.
No automatic help exists for accident-disabled individuals, leaving families with long-term burdens.
Emotional and financial support systems are needed. Citizens can help by obeying road safety laws.
As the Life Safety module is a medical component, most people lack training in emergency response, leading to an increase in road deaths in the country.
Our simple, inclusive accident-response training helps people act quickly and save lives effectively.
