SURAKSHA - Traffic Safety Awareness Movement, India
A homegrown citizen movement for safer roads across India

Every life.
Every journey.
Every road

SURAKSHA is India's citizen-led traffic safety movement, building a culture where every road user values human life. We start in Pune - our first city - together with schools, corporates, government and neighbourhoods, then expand across India.

An initiative of Nation Change Makers, in collaboration with citizens, government and civil society.

Why SURAKSHA

A shared civic responsibility.

India's cities are growing faster than their roads, carrying students, workers, families and dreams. SURAKSHA exists to make every one of those journeys safer - starting in Pune and scaling nationwide.

01
Road crashes affect thousands of families every year.

Behind every statistic is a home, a story, a life interrupted.

02
Every citizen has a role.

Safe roads aren't built by governments alone - they're built by all of us.

03
Road safety begins with individual choices.

The helmet you wear. The speed you keep. The lane you respect.

04
Together we can change road culture.

One junction, one journey, one habit at a time.

Our vision

The road from today to a safer India.

A movement doesn't change a city overnight. It shifts one habit, then one street, one neighbourhood, then one city - until safety becomes the culture across India.
