Raah-Veer Yojana: Accident Victim Ko Hospital Pahunchao, Rs 25,000 Pao — Poori Process

Agar aap kabhi road par kisi accident ka scene dekhen aur rukne se darte hain — police ka jhanjhat, hospital mein ghante bhar ruk jaana, ya baad mein kisi ne case mein fansane ka darr — toh yeh post aapke liye hai.

India mein Raah-Veer Yojana (pehle Good Samaritan Scheme ke naam se jaani jaati thi) ek central government scheme hai jo aapko Rs 25,000 cash reward deti hai agar aap kisi road accident victim ko pehle 60 minute (golden hour) mein hospital pahunchate ho.

Yeh Scheme Kya Hai?

Raah-Veer Yojana ko Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) ne 3 October 2021 ko launch kiya tha. Pehle iska naam "Good Samaritan Scheme" tha. April 2025 mein revised guidelines aayi aur naam badal kar Raah-Veer rakha gaya — saath hi reward bhi Rs 5,000 se badhakar Rs 25,000 kar diya gaya.

Scheme ka maqsad seedha hai: India mein road accidents mein bahut log golden hour mein madad na milne ki wajah se jaan gawaate hain. Agar koi bystander rukke aur victim ko hospital pahunchaye, toh survival chances kaafi badh jaate hain. Government chahti hai ki log rukne se na darein — isliye yeh cash reward rakha gaya hai.

Reward Kya Hai — Exactly?

• Rs 25,000 per incident — seedha bank account mein PFMS ke zariye
• Ek vyakti ko ek saal mein maximum 5 awards mil sakte hain (yani max Rs 1,25,000 per year)
• Reward traffic report karne ke liye nahi hai — yeh specifically us vyakti ke liye hai jo accident victim ko hospital pahunchata hai, aur woh bhi golden hour yani pehle 60 minute mein

Poori Process — Step by Step

Scheme ka process zyada complicated nahi hai, lekin har step zaroori hai:

1. Madad karo: Road accident mein victim ko turant nearest government ya private hospital le jao. Golden hour — yaani durghatna ke pehle 60 minute — mein hospital pahunchana zaroori hai.
2. Emergency number call karo: Incident report karo.
3. Likhit report rakho: Ek written report tayyar karo jisme ghatna ka vivran ho — yeh process approximately 30 minute ka hai.
4. District Appraisal Committee verify karti hai: DM (District Magistrate) ki adhyakshata mein ek committee hoti hai jo claim verify aur approve karti hai.
5. Paise bank mein aate hain: Approved hone par Rs 25,000 PFMS (Public Financial Management System) ke zariye aapke bank account mein transfer hote hain.

Kitne Log Ko Mila Hai Abhi Tak?

Yahan ek important cheez hai jo reel mein bhi batai gayi — sirf 813 log poore India mein 5 saalon mein is scheme se reward pa sake hain. Yeh government ki Lok Sabha mein tabled data ke mutabik hai:

• 2021-22: 77 awardees
• 2022-23: 75 awardees
• 2023-24: 384 awardees
• 2024-25: 177 awardees
• 2025-26: 100 awardees

Top performing states: Rajasthan (224), Bihar (95), Madhya Pradesh (54). Baaki sab states ek saath milayein toh bhi 813 mein se 440 hain.

813 ka yeh number ek baat clearly batata hai — scheme bahut underutilized hai. Hajaron accidents roz hote hain, lekin log ya toh jaante nahi ya apply karna chhod dete hain. Isliye is information ko share karna important hai.

Scheme Ka Future

Raah-Veer Yojana ko 2026-27 se 2030-31 tak extend kar diya gaya hai. Matlab agले 5 saalon mein bhi yeh scheme active rahegi. April 2025 ki revised guidelines ne reward badhaya, naam badla, aur process streamline ki — clearly government is scheme ko zyada effective banana chahti hai.

Ek road accident victim ki jaan bachana na sirf ek insaani kaam hai — ab yeh financially bhi rewarding hai. Rs 25,000 milna ek bonus hai; asli reward toh kisi ki zindagi bachana hai.
