Preface:Women and Child Welfare Society( WCWS), Cuttack is placed before you. The two decades-plus mission, vision, commitments, action components and implementations on road safety activities by WCWS are comprehensively presented in the Report. Road accidents & safety no more remains the other man’s concern like in pre 90’s. Explosive growth of human and vehicle population, increasing diversified economic activities, heterogeneous mix of vehicle class on roads not only led to faster mobility of people on roads but also increased the risks of traffic hazards like road accidents in the country. These factors made road accidents & safety everybody’s concern in last three decades. Accident on road is a global concern. Safety on road is a global issue. By dimension the density of roads a& highways; the number and types of vehicles and even the number of road accidents are visibly higher in advanced countries than the developing countries like in India. But by severity ( fatality rate), the developing nations including India lead the world with much higher number of human deaths on road every year. The challenge grips Indian States more and more in every advancing year even after developments in road infrastructure, vehicle technology and stringent enforcements on roads by the governments, corporate houses ,civil society organizations, institutional mechanisms etc. India still bleeds with 17 deaths each hour, adding up to 140,000 deaths yearly and includes 75,000 youths between ages 15-34, according to the Road Accident Report for 2014, Road Transport and Highways Ministry of India. Road accidents have become public health and enormous economic loss issues in recent years. The crux of the solution area inroad safety is ingrained in the awareness and education on road safety in perspective manner. Odisha State has been a victim of such a crucial and sensitive issue of road accidents since long years.<br> WCWS along with very few civil society organizations took the lead role in the State towards road safety measures since mid -90’s particularly in the field of awareness and education to the general public. WCWS played multidimensional role. It identified the vulnerable road users ,particularly school& college students, youth drivers of age group 18-15 years, 2-wheeelers & 3-wheelers, taxi drivers, HMV drivers, hazardous goods vehicle drivers, students of highway side institutions. It implemented all types of programmes of action components of education & awareness on road safety modules including electronic, paper and social media coverage across the State. It developed many case studies on road safety. It made exposure visits to other States and countries to learn and apply advanced & innovative road safety measure. It remains an active member of many state & regional level road safety committees. The Annual Report 2019-20 of WCWS, Cuttack embodies the major activities on road safety being undertaken by WCWS since 1998-99. Let us preserve road safety as a way of life.
