We talked with Raghvendra to learn more about his initiative and how his selfless actions have saved the lives of over 35 people so far.
THE TRAGIC INCIDENT
Every noble cause starts with a reason, like Raghvendra’s mission to distribute free helmets. Losing his friend moved him so much that he let go of his aspiration to practice law and started distributing free helmets to motorcyclists not wearing helmets on the roads from Noida to Bihar. The statistics on motorcyclist deaths cemented his decision to take up this cause.
While explaining why he started this initiative, he shares, "I started this mission in 2014 to create awareness about the use of helmets so that future generations won’t lose their lives due to carelessness.”
Continuing this initiative hadn’t been easy; his parents expressed doubt and stopped giving him pocket money. Yet he preserved and took part-time jobs to support his cause.
