NEW DELHI: This Rakshabandhan, the Tarini-Suryavirr sibling duo developed a poignant theme emphasizing that no brother or sister should lose their life to a road accident, as whoever perishes is a cherished sibling to someone.
India is grappling with a staggering loss of more than 1.5 lakh people, predominantly from the active population, on the roads every year, and the number of those suffering permanent disabilities is more than double. Taarini Sinha (13) and her brother Shauryavirr Sinha (12) have been dedicated Road Safety Ambassadors for the past five years.
Tarini passionately stated, "We educate and raise awareness about the gravity of responsible road behaviour through our activities, banners, and sessions. Accidents are an insidious disease that strikes without warning, and the aftermath experienced by victims and their families is unimaginable." They cultivated this noble thought of serving society by enlightening people about the dire consequences of road accidents through their father, Shailesh Sinha, and the organization Traffic People Foundation. Shauryavirr added, "Our father has been a constant source of inspiration, encouraging us to serve our beloved nation, India."
Taini shared a profound statement learned from their father, Shailesh Sinha: "A vehicle is like a weapon if not used correctly, so we must utilize it with utmost care and responsibility." Shailesh Sinha, who previously held esteemed positions as an Associate Director with India's leading realty company and various other corporates, has relinquished those roles to pursue his vision of making India a road-safe country. Their mission and vision are to transform India into "A Zero Death in Road Crashes Country," which can only be achieved by integrating road behaviour education into the school curriculum.
