TKM Report 2021

Road safety Instilling safe and responsible road safety behavior in practices among citizens will help make our roads as well as our lives safer Aim of the Programme Strengthen the Traffic safety institute towards realization of goal in making the institute No.1 in south India in collaboration with Bangalore Traffic Police. We at TKM believe that road safety awareness and education is as essential as any other basic skills of survival/life skill and can be instilled in the early ages of one’s life. Connectivity is essential for growth of any modern society wherein the roads pave the path of development. Their significance is such that every individual is dependent on roads for most of their needs. The technological advances have resulted in quicker and smooth transport systems but the increased movement on the roads have also caused increased safety incidents. In the last decade alone, India lost 1.3 million people to preventable road crashes and another 5.3 million have been left disabled for life. India accounts for over 10% of global road accident fatalities – the highest in the world. Most of these cases occur either due to carelessness or due to lack of road safety awareness, on the part of the road users. TKM deriving from its philosophy of making safer transport systems, is committed towards road safety and have undertaken an initiative of strengthening the Traffic Training and Road Safety Institute – TT and RSI.
