Answer:

Speaking on the occasion, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said, road safety includes road awareness. Not only the drivers, but the riders have to be aware about their responsibilities towards causes of accidents to prevent them. He said, accident fatalities not only hurt a family, but also cause severe loss of national resources. He added that nearly 3 per cent GDP loss can be saved by spreading safety awareness.Road Transport and Highways & MSME Minister Nitin Gadkari congratulated the winners from different categories like the best performing State in road safety works, good samaritan award, best state transport corporations, best work in safer highway development, outstanding field officers and best work by NGOs in road safety.Gadkari pointed out that in India, a total of 150,000 people died, while more than 450,000 people got injured in road accidents every year, resulting in social-economic losses from accident deaths equivalent to a shocking 3.14% of GDP every year. He said, 70% deaths are in the age group of 18 to 45-year-old people, which is nearly 415 people dying per day in India. The Minister said, the government is committed to reduce road injuries and deaths. Several steps were taken towards achieving zero road fatalities vision on Indian roads by 2030 by taking various initiatives, policy reforms, and adoption of safe systems. He said, he strongly believes that the government can succeed only when road safety would become a grass-rooted mass movement only and only through ‘Jan-bhaagidari’ and ‘Jan-sahbhaag’. Governments at all levels, union, state and municipal authorities must play as facilitators to make this Jan-Sahbhaag successful, he said.
