Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of morbidity, mortality, disability and socioeconomic losses in India and other developing countries  It is estimated that nearly 1.5 to 2 million persons are injured and 1 million1 succumb to death every year in India resulting in deaths, injuries and disabilities of young and productive people of our society. Road traffic injuries are the leading cause (60%) 2 of TBI followed by falls (20%-25%) and violence (10%). Alcohol involvement is known to be present among 15%-20% of TBIs at the time of injury. The failure to implement several proven countermeasures and neglect of people’s safety has only resulted in increase of TBI.
