Emergency Care & Life-Saving Skills Training

In remote and disaster-prone areas like Kapkote, timely awareness and life-saving skills can make a vital difference during emergencies.

With support from WHOCCET, Aarohi’s Health Team received training in emergency care and life-saving techniques. This training has now started in Kapkote, where every month, our team is visiting schools and communities to provide training on different life-saving skills.

Through these sessions, students and community members are learning how to respond to emergencies and provide timely support. This initiative aims to strengthen community awareness and preparedness and help save lives when it matters most.

Aarohi shared its experiences and perspectives on rural development, local employment, education, healthcare, environmental sustainability, and opportunities for future collaboration.

During the discussion, Aarohi highlighted the importance of systematic documentation of the social, environmental, and economic impact of NGOs working across Uttarakhand, particularly their contributions to mountain communities. Such evidence-based studies can support policy advocacy, strengthen development programmes, and create opportunities for collaboration among research institutions, government, and NGOs.
