Paras Health Srinagar, Islamia College Join Hands to Equip Students with Life-Saving Skills, Promote Drug-Free Society

Srinagar, August 10: In a significant initiative aimed at equipping young people with life-saving skills and strengthening awareness against substance abuse, Paras Health Srinagar, in collaboration with Islamia College of Science & Commerce, Srinagar, NSS Unit 3 and CWASC, organised a Basic Life Support (BLS) Training and Drug De-Addiction Awareness Session on Monday under the banner of the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan.

The session brought together healthcare professionals and students to promote awareness about emergency response, the dangers of drug abuse and the importance of building a healthy, responsible and drug-free society.

The Basic Life Support training was conducted by Dr. Sarmad Andrabi, Senior Resident, Critical Care, Paras Health Srinagar, who sensitised students to the importance of responding promptly and appropriately during medical emergencies. The training focused on essential life-saving measures and encouraged participants to develop the confidence and preparedness needed to act in critical situations.

Dr. Andrabi emphasised that timely intervention during an emergency can play a crucial role in saving a life, making awareness and basic emergency-response skills important not only for healthcare professionals but for the wider community.

The session also addressed the growing need for awareness, counselling and preventive efforts against substance abuse. Ms. Madeeha Mukhtar, Clinical Psychologist, Paras Health Srinagar, conducted the Drug De-Addiction Awareness and Counselling session, engaging students in a discussion on the harmful physical, psychological and social consequences of drug abuse.

Ms. Mukhtar highlighted the importance of early awareness, open communication and timely counselling in preventing substance dependence. She also encouraged students to seek appropriate support and help individuals struggling with addiction rather than allowing stigma to become a barrier to recovery.

The programme included an interactive discussion with students, providing them an opportunity to raise questions and share their perspectives on substance abuse, mental well-being, emergency preparedness and their role in creating a healthier society.

The initiative underscored the importance of taking health awareness beyond hospital settings and engaging young people directly through educational institutions.

The organisers said such initiatives can help create a generation that is not only better prepared to respond to medical emergencies but is also aware of the devastating consequences of substance abuse.

The collaboration reaffirmed the shared commitment of Paras Health Srinagar and the college towards community health, student empowerment and social responsibility, with the larger objective of contributing to a drug-free, healthier and more responsible society.
