Both these parts of road safety are covered under the ambit of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) under Schedule VII of the Companies Act, 2013. Crash prevention is covered under Schedule VII section (ii) “Promoting education” and Post-crash response is covered under Schedule VII section (i) “Promoting health care including preventive health care”.
