ROAD SAFETY

Harnessing Technology and

Collaboration to

Combat Road Accidents

In a concerted effort involving
officials from transport and police

departments, road-owning agencies,
medical & health professionals, and
various stakeholders, the State Road

Safety Cell in Rajasthan is spearheading
initiatives to fulfil the Global Road
Safety Goal of reducing road fatalities
and severe injuries by 50% by the close

of 2030. While challenges abound,
strategic processes, partnerships
with leading engineering

institutions for technology-
driven solutions, extensive
awareness campaigns,
collaborative endeavours

with stakeholders, and
a robust road safety fund
collectively contribute to
making this ambitious target

appear attainable. Nidhi Singh,
Joint Transport Commissioner
(Road Safety) at the Rajasthan

Transport Department, the
head of this lead agency,
shared insights into the
diverse safety initiatives

in a conversation with
