In a pioneering step towards equipping students with vital lifesaving skills, Kalorex Future School, Ghatlodia, has partnered with the UN Mehta Institute of Cardiology and Research Center to introduce Basic Life Support (BLS) and First Aid Training programmes—making it the first school to be selected for this transformative collaboration. The initiative also includes a comprehensive health screening drive, marking a milestone in integrating healthcare education into the school curriculum.
The grand inauguration ceremony witnessed the presence of Rohit Chaudhary, District Education Officer, Ahmedabad, as Chief Guest, along with Dr. Naitik Patel, Administration Manager, and a team of eminent doctors from UN Mehta Institute as Guests of Honour. Arti Mishra, Director – Academics, Kalorex Group, graced the event, reinforcing the institution’s vision of nurturing well-rounded, health-aware citizens.
Students from Grades 6 to 8 actively participated in the BLS and First Aid training, learning critical emergency response skills under expert medical supervision. They practiced techniques to handle cardiac emergencies, injuries, and other critical situations—empowering them to act confidently and responsibly during crises.
In addition, the medical team conducted detailed health assessments, checking height, weight, BMI, blood pressure, pulse rate, and SpO₂ levels, while students filled out personal wellness questionnaires to promote health awareness from a young age.
Expressing her gratitude, Principal Seema Mishra lauded the collaboration as a “life-changing initiative” for students and thanked the DEO, dignitaries, and the UN Mehta medical team for their support.
“We are proud to be the first school chosen for this initiative. Our students will not just learn academics but also the skills to save lives,” she said, reaffirming the school’s commitment to holistic education and community wellbeing.
This collaboration sets a benchmark for other educational institutions—emphasizing that lifesaving education and health preparedness are as crucial as academic excellence in shaping responsible global citizens.
