“With Jeevan Rakshak Program, we are taking a step forward in strengthening our national commitment to reduce road crash deaths by 50 per cent within the next 2 years. I would encourage citizens to volunteer for the program and make a contribution to a greater cause we are working towards,” he added while talking about the recent development.
In a bid to create a model for road safety across Indian highways, the SAVWIPL and Save Life Foundation had partnered in 2019 as well.
