Need of initiating Helmet India campaign
India has witnessed in the last four years the deaths of more than 2,00,000 MTW Riders out of which 1,30,000 were just because of Non wearing of helmet. Unfortunately, the deaths are increasing every year from 10135 in 2016 to 44666 in 2019 the numbers have increased drastically. Out of 37 percent deaths of two wheeler riders, about 30 percent of deaths were due to non-wearing of Helmets (MoRTH Report 2019).
India is losing its youth in road accidents, in the previous two years young adults of the age group of 18 – 45 years accounted for nearly 69.3 percent of road accident victims. The working age group of 18 – 60 accounted for a share of 84.3 percent in the total road accident deaths, which is hitting the economy as well.

Not Wearing a helmet

- Decreases the likelihood of death by up to 39%, with the probability depending on the speed of the motorcycle involved.
- Decrease the costs of health care associated with crashes.
As per UNECE ‘The United Nations Motorcycle Helmet Study’, Wearing an appropriate helmet improves the chances of survival of a Motorcyclist by 42% and helps to avoid 69% of injuries to riders. Poor quality helmet is equal to no helmet, a good quality helmet can become a life savior, but unfortunately people find it expensive for saving their precious lives.
The purpose behind this initiative is to reduce 30% Road fatalities of MTW riders which can be achieved by taking few below mentioned initiatives.
- Banning the manufacturing and sale of the Fake Helmets.
- Spreading awareness about the consequences of wearing Fake Helmets to the riders by impact test.
- And Encouraging all OEMs to abide by CMVR Rule 138 (4) (f) of, 1989. (Providing Helmet with new Two Wheeler).
