As part of our commitment to Vision and Road Safety, we work to address critical issues such as the impact of vision on road safety, the prevention of fatalities and injuries, and the promotion of mental health awareness and well-being as crucial factors in accident prevention. IVI is actively engaged in building alliances with organizations across sectors involved in road safety, including policymakers, NGOs, and other stakeholders.
The ‘Alliance for Road Safety’ meetings address road safety concerns, exploring possibilities for greater collaboration, advocacy, and finding innovative solutions to ensure safer roads for all.
Defensive Driving Training
The defensive driving training initiative is aimed at enhancing road safety and reducing accidents caused by reckless driving behaviour. It is equipping commercial vehicle drivers with the skills to anticipate and respond effectively to hazardous situations, adverse weather conditions, and aggressive driving etc.
We have trained 6,000 drivers so far.
Vision Screening
Commercial Vehicle Drivers
​We conduct vision screenings for commercial vehicle drivers nationwide. By identifying and addressing potential vision impairment issues among drivers, our campaign aims to mitigate the risk of accidents caused by impaired vision. We tailor our approach to accommodate the diverse demographics of drivers, considering linguistic and cultural differences, to achieve our safety objectives and create a conducive environment for safe road navigation.
Mental Health Awareness
The program focuses on addressing the mental well-being of commercial drivers, through raising awareness on mental health issues, educating them on the signs and symptoms of common mental disorders, and encouraging them to seek help and support when needed. We have distributed 32,000 informative materials so far, including brochures, pamphlets, and stickers. In addition, 2,000 one-on-one counselling sessions have been held for drivers, providing personalized support and guidance.
Hearing Screening
IVI undertakes hearing screenings for children for early detection of hearing impairments. These help identify children who may have hearing challenges that could impact their education and development.
Menstrual Health Awareness
The program educates and empowers women and girls by addressing misconceptions and encouraging them to adopt proper menstrual health practices.
