‘A youngster falls down suddenly at Sir Parshurambhau’s Lady Ramabai Hall. ‘Call the ambulance’, someone said from the crowd. Everyone was thinking like- what should we do till the ambulance come? And at the same time, some youngsters came forward and they started doing the first aid treatment. As soon as the ambulance arrived and they kept that young man on the stretcher and helped to reach him to hospital.’ Now, you may think, this incident which properly handled by youngsters, happened really,  but in fact, it was just experimenting with learning disaster management and medical services in Pune.

Pune’s youth excitement knows no boundaries on eve of Dahi Handi

Mukta Tilak said, “Not only our citizens but foreign citizens also have the attraction of Ganesh festival in Pune. So it is your job to help all the people coming from outside. There is always the big crowd at the festivals, thus senior citizens, pregnant women, and children have to suffer. Most of the people do not know what to do in the big crowd if there is a problem. Therefore, disaster management and medical service training definitely benefit during the festival.

Dr. Sagar Doifode said, there are two types of disasters -natural and man-made. It is important to save a person’s life. Working in disaster management is not just government work, So, the people’s participation is the important thing.”  Rajarshi Shahu Pratisthan, Rajmudra Pathak, Gajlakshmi Pathak, Tulshibag Mandal, Garud Ganapati Mandal, Shivsuriya Pratishthan, Deshmukh Ganesh Mandir, Srujan Institute and various teams, Pathaks and organizations have participated in the training. The mountaineers who have helped in an accident of Poladpur Ghat and first aid boxes have been given to manadals.
