From Personal Loss to a Nationwide Mission
Raghavendra Kumar hails from a small village in the Kaimur district of Bihar and holds a law degree from Lloyd Law College, Greater Noida.
In 2014, he lost a close friend in a tragic road accident in Greater Noida. His friend was not wearing a helmet. This incident changed his life. Instead of accepting the loss, he turned his grief into a mission: to make helmets and road safety a habit for every rider in India.
He began distributing helmets for free to anyone riding without one and even started wearing a helmet inside his car to spark conversations. Over time, this powerful gesture earned him the name 'Helmet Man of India'.
- 77,000+ helmets distributed free of cost
- 51 lives saved (as reported in his impact data)
- Work active in 22 states
- Law achieved for helmets for 4-year-old children
