St. John Ambulance Kaithal Branch Conducts Free First Aid Training in Titaram
Kaithal, November 7 — “CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) is a life-saving process that can revive an unconscious person whose heart and breathing have stopped,” said Dr. Raja Singh Jhinjar, Master Trainer and Gold Medalist of St. John Ambulance International Association India.
He was addressing hundreds of students and teachers during a free first aid and CPR training session organized at Aryavart Shiksha Niketan School, Titaram village.
First Aid Training Builds a Safer and More Aware Society
Dr. Jhinjar highlighted that first aid is an invaluable life-saving skill, essential for creating a safe and responsible society.
He emphasized, “When breathing and heartbeat stop, only CPR can bring life back.”
Under the guidance of National President Dr. Rajpal Poonia, the association is working across India to achieve the goal of 100% first aid training coverage. The organization is preparing ordinary citizens through world-class emergency response training, enabling them to act effectively during critical situations.
The Role of a Bystander is Crucial at the Accident Site
Dr. Jhinjar explained that the person present at the accident site plays a more vital role than even a doctor, as their awareness, quick thinking, and resourcefulness can prevent loss of life.
He said, “A well-trained individual can use available materials wisely to provide immediate relief and stabilize the injured before medical help arrives.”
Students Learn How to Handle Emergencies
During the session, Dr. Jhinjar provided detailed demonstrations on various first aid techniques, including:
- Bone fracture treatment
- Managing heavy bleeding
- Electric shock response
- Handling unconsciousness and trauma
- Heart attack response and CPR
- Treatment for snake bites and poisoning
- Safe methods of transferring victims to medical care
The session ended with students and teachers practicing CPR on a human dummy, gaining hands-on experience in emergency care.
School Management Praises the Initiative
School manager Vikram Singh praised Dr. Jhinjar’s outstanding training, saying that first aid is not just part of school education but an essential life skill.
He said, “This training prepares every student to protect not only themselves but also others during emergencies.”
Teachers Neeru, Geeta Rani, Sunaina Devi, Anju Rani, Reena Rani, Meenakshi, and Sukhwinder Singh were among those present during the training program.
