Master trainer, Dr. Itinderpal Singh Bali who was accompanied by his team demonstrated basic CPR techniques and emergency response practices crucial for medical emergencies. The training session focused on practical demonstrations and hands-on learning, where students were trained in administering CPR, including proper chest compressions, airway clearance, and rescue breathing. The participants were also familiarised with basic first aid responses for situations like choking, fainting, bleeding, fractures, and burns, empowering them to act confidently in medical emergencies.
