Basic Life Saving Techniques (Mega-Project)
2nd Blog
For Mega-project, we chose to give Basic Life Safety techniques and awareness to students because this matter is sensitive in a sense that these techniques can save many lives by applying at the critical time.
In the previous blog I introduced my team and their credentials and for basic training sessions, we also invited an active member of Agriversity Scouts group member “Ali Sufian” B.Sc. Energy Systems Engineering who is well trained of Basic life support course and safety courses. Agriversity Scouts are Best scouts in Pakistan from past many decades and won many National level Competitions.
After the sessions, the response was very great by the students and they insisted that these sessions should be done in every department we taught some basic techniques like LLF, CPR, 4 C’s, RICE which are used between the critical time before the arrival of rescue teams. We invited students from hostels and sessions were held in the mosques of the hostel.
Challenges faced by my team was engaging people because exams are over and maximum students are gone from hostels and to overcome this problem we decided to go to doorsteps and invite students personally to the session.
Outcomes of these sessions were very favorable and participants were very happy with this important learning activity and requested to continue these activities in future.
These techniques are very useful and will affect a lot of lives if applied because these are life-saving and critical. Due to unfavorable circumstances, we could not achieve the maximum goals but we achieved about 85–90% goals.
At the end, we got a very good response from participants and they were thankful that we taught them important life-saving techniques and by seeing the interest of students we are planning to organize these sessions in next semester also.
