Road Safety for Schools in Hyderabad

In Telangana, road accidents accounted for 11.5% of all deaths and 17.8% of all injuries in 2021. The state ranked 11th in the country in terms of road accident fatalities. The annual rate of overall road injury among children in 2009 was 11% for boys and 6% for girls, yet little is known about children’s injury during the school commute in Hyderabad. Age profile of road accident victims for the calendar year 2019 reveals that the youth of age group 18-60 accounted for 84.3 percent (1,38,518 persons).

It is unacceptable for people (and children) to have severe injuries and deaths due to RTI, and it this is a huge public health crisis. Nobody should be allowed to die on the roads, especially since RTIs are preventable using tested scientific approaches. There are gaps in understanding the safety near school zones, and its influence on childrens’ well being. This project aims to fill this gap.
