Besides Gurunath Kelekar's MARG, I came across another similar organisation in Panjim (Altinho) sometime in 2004, run by ex-Police chief Prabakar Sinari, which if I understood himn correctly then, was given the responsibility of educating the Kadamba bus drivers in addition to other objectives.
How successful these organisations have been can only be gauged by the number of accidents in the state... Does anyone bother keeping statistics? Sometime in the past I had remarked to Valmiki F regarding publishing daily stats in the editorial page of the local dailies, something in the form of "Road Toll: Year to date: xxx; This time last year: yyy". This sort of indicator would go a long way, I think, not only to question the local government and the NGOs regarding the education levels of road use, but also serve as an indicator to road users that they are not invulnerable.
