1. To develop pavements on highways as Saints and Monks do not use vehicles and move from one place to another by walking barefoot​.​2. To develop facilities for emergency treatment of accident victims on highways and also create awareness about the same.

The Issue

Jain community, which has been though given the minority status in India, does not seem to have received the desired protection. A drastic increase in number of accidents of Jain saints/ monks has been observed during the past few years. Jain community which believes in the principle of 'live and let live' where every life-form how so ever small it may be in size receives respect, however the monks of such community have not been able to live safely. Whether it may be a conspiracy or co-incident, what we desire are measures which would give a degree of safety to monks traveling places by walking, not just for Jain community but for all such saints/ monks. I believe the ministry has experts which are capable enough to find number of ways to give the desired level of protection, what is required is the intention to act.
