How safe are our children on India's roads? Not very much if one were to go by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) which says that 20 children under the age of 14 die every day on the roads. Even as more than half of the world's countries have specific child safety laws in place, a World Health Organization (WHO) global status report of 2013 points out that India has none. In 2012, deaths of children while they commuted to schools increased by a whopping 39.5 percent.
