Need of Uyir

Road Safety:

It is a shocking fact that more than one lakh people are killed in India every year in Road accidents. This is about than 10% of the death toll across the world in Road accidents.

This indicates the high exigency to fight against Road accidents in every possible way and create awareness on road safety measures and precautions to be taken by every citizen in India in order to prevent accidents on Indian roads and save many lives.

Road Accident Statistics:

"More than 1.2 million people are killed in Road Accidents, worldwide, every year"
  • In India, more than a lakh people are being killed in Road Accidents every year.
  • 3% to 4% of Gross National Product is lost in Road Accidents.
  • One child is killed in Road Accidents, every three minutes in the World.
  • Total death toll of Tsunami of 2004 was about 9000 in Tamilnadu. But, the annual death toll of Road Accidents is 17234…!! i.e nearly two times the Tsunami toll and it continues every year,(Tamilnadu is the second highest death rate state in India ,2018)
  • Coimbatore stands second among the accident prone cities of Tamil Nadu.

Objectives

Our Prime objective is to create the awareness that “Road Safety” is not just an idea or concept it is a discipline, a pledge each one of us should take to make our roads safe to travel on.
