Jharkhand district to raise 1L trained volunteers for emergency medical aid
The New Indian Express Coimbatore
|August 16, 2025
IN a first-of-its-kind initiative in the country, Ramgarh district of Jharkhand will soon have an army of one lakh volunteers named 'Aapda Mitra'.
They are trained to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid.
The target was achieved within two months of Deputy Commissioner Faiz-Aq Ahmed Mumtaz taking charge in June this year. CPR is a life-saving technique in emergencies when someone is facing breathing problems or when the heartbeat has stopped due to a heart attack. Performed quickly by trained people, CPR can double or even triple the chances of survival after cardiac arrest.
