Addressing the gathering, Ms. Anuradha shared that this marks the first initiative of its kind at the school, supported by a Memorandum of Understanding aimed at strengthening the institution’s safety framework. She emphasised that empowering educators and young learners with practical emergency skills is a vital step towards ensuring student well-being and fostering a culture of preparedness.
