This study examines India's initiatives to enhance road safety via the Integrated Road Accident Database (iRAD) and the e-Detailed Accident Report (e-DAR). The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has been executing many measures to improve road safety. Road accidents have become a significant threat in India. iRAD aims to address this issue by establishing a comprehensive road accident database to assist authorities in making proactive choices and ensuring 'Better and Safer Roads for All.' The main goals were to assess the efficacy of these activities in enhancing road safety measures, enabling precise data gathering, and optimizing accident reporting systems. The initiative will provide diverse insights by studying the national road accident data using data analytics techniques. The proposed system would provide analytical data via a Monitoring & Reporting Dashboard and an Analytics Dashboard to enhance understanding and support forecasting and decision-making by Apex Authorities for the formulation of new policies and strategies. The project's outcome will be enhanced road safety, namely 'Safe Road for All' in India
