Championing the Cause in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh & Across India
The Bhagirath Sewa Sansthan recognizes the devastating impact of road accidents, which claim thousands of lives and cause life-altering injuries each year. In Ghaziabad alone, more than 1,500 people tragically lose their lives annually due to road accidents. To address this critical issue, the Sansthan has launched a multi-pronged approach aimed at strengthening road safety awareness and encouraging behaviour change.
Raising Awareness Among the Young Generation
Road Safety Week Activities: During Road Safety Week, the Sansthan actively engages with schools and colleges by organizing seminars, poster-making competitions, and rallies. These initiatives educate students about safe traffic practices and empower them to become responsible road users.
NCC Cadet Collaboration: Leveraging the dedication and discipline of NCC cadets, the Sansthan involves them in road safety campaigns, amplifying the message and ensuring wider public outreach.
Engaging Public Representatives and Concerned Citizens: By involving public representatives and socially aware citizens, the Sansthan fosters a collaborative environment that encourages collective responsibility toward road safety.
Targeted Road Safety Measures During Peak Events
Kanwar Yatra and Fairs: Recognizing the increased risks during events like the Kanwar Yatra—where large crowds travel to collect holy water from Haridwar—the Sansthan organizes road safety camps. These camps educate participants on safe travel practices and help prevent avoidable accidents.
Encouraging Student Initiatives
The Sansthan actively encourages students to take responsibility for road safety by offering opportunities to participate in:
Traffic Police Volunteer Programs: Students collaborate with the Traffic Police during Road Safety Week, volunteering their time to spread awareness among the public.
Kanwar Yatra and Shivaratri Crowd Control: During major religious festivals, students work alongside defence personnel to manage crowds and ensure the safety of pilgrims and devotees.
Supporting Government Events: Students and volunteers from the Sansthan assist in implementing road safety measures during major government events and festivals, reflecting their commitment to community welfare.
By implementing these comprehensive initiatives, Bhagirath Sewa Sansthan plays a pivotal role in promoting road safety awareness in Ghaziabad. Its multifaceted approach—targeting youth, festival attendees, and the broader community—significantly contributes to reducing accidents and saving lives and reducing road accidents
