The Road Safety Week celebration is initiated by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways with an aim to raise public awareness about traffic rules and ultimately reduce casualties due to road accidents. In this program, all the Charitable Organizations, Non-Government Organizations, and Private firms across the country join hand to hand with the government to provide logistic support to the Road Safety measurements.
