Two months ago, while on my way to college, I came across a group of bystanders surrounding an 11th-grade student who had fainted on the road. The student was lying in an uncomfortable position, still wearing his school bag, I stepped forward to assess the situation.

I saved an elderly couple who were involved in a road traffic accident on the flyover and had severe leg injuries with heavy bleeding. I controlled the bleeding to prevent further blood loss and later handed them over to the ambulance.

26-year-old Lalitha Veronica saved the life of a person who suffered a heart attack by performing three cycles of CPR. When many people avoided the unconscious victim, she was reminded of her father who had also experienced a heart attack and thereby, she stopped to give first aid without inhibition.
