T-Talk – Ek Boond Soch Ki

with Dr. Manjeet Singh Arora,
CPR Man of India

We are setting to roll out our weekly blog on “Life Saving Techniques” —
FIRST-AID / BLS / CPR for our BHARATVAASI’S – 2026

Message

A developed nation is not defined only by its economy or infrastructure, but by how prepared its citizens are to save a life. As India moves with confidence toward Viksit Bharat 2047, one powerful step we can take today is to build a life-saving nation—where every citizen knows basic First Aid, BLS, and CPR.

Through this social media initiative, we aim to transform awareness into action, and bystanders into first responders.

Cardiac arrest, accidents, choking, and emergencies can happen anywhere—homes, roads, workplaces, schools. Timely first aid and CPR can mean the difference between life and death. Every second counts.

Our mission is simple yet impactful:

• To educate the community with correct, practical knowledge
• To empower citizens with confidence to act in emergencies
• To create a culture of zero helplessness and zero harm

This is not just a campaign—this is a national responsibility.
Together, let us make every Indian a potential lifesaver.

Because a Viksit Bharat is a Safe, Prepared, and Compassionate Bharat.
