Our Story

NIRAPAD SARAK CHAI (NISCHA) has now taken the shape of a popular movement in Bangladesh. The organization came into being on the 1st December, 1993 after the sad demise of JahanaraKanchan, wife of renowned film artist Ilias Kanchan on the 22nd October, 1993. The message of the organization “We must ensure road safety at all costs” has gone beyond the frontiers of Bangladesh and its necessity has also been felt in various international forums. People from all walks of life have stood collectively beside the organizers of the movement led by Ilias Kanchan to carry the message forward throughout the length and breadth of the country.
