Pramod Sharma, a key figure in the training, advised, “Whenever there is an emergency and we have to help someone, first ensure your own safety and approach the situation with caution and vigilance so that others can benefit from your help.”

The workshop covered a variety of emergency scenarios, including flood situations, air raids, first aid, CPR, and emergency rescue methods. The cadets were also taught how to construct a boat using a cot and how to create a stretcher from cloth and sack in the absence of other resources.
