All trainees, who had come here to participate in the training programme, had to take the training seriously. After being trained from here, they could save someone’s life in case of any disaster.

He said in the camp, employees of various departments had come with a desire to protect people in case of any emergency, and with the goal of social service in mind. Saving someone’s life at the time of disaster was the biggest service to society. The trainees were being made aware of the ways to save lives by using household items during floods.

Kurukshetra Deputy Commissioner Shantanu Sharma said, “The goal of saving lives in emergency situations should always remain in the minds of the trainees. While saving the lives of others will give you self-satisfaction, the purpose of the training given at the training camp will also be fulfilled.
