About Us
A first aid room separately has been established in the college campus. The first aid kit has been prepared as per guidelines from the Red Cross. (https://www.redcross.org/get-help/how-to-prepare-for-emergencies/anatomy-of-a-first-aid-kit.html)
The Red Cross recommends that all first aid kits for four candidates include the following as given below. We have calculated this for 50 people. Apart from this also some basic mediations for symptomatic treatment of common ailments are kept. These are periodically checked for date of expiry and replaced as and when needed.
Medical doctors are part of the faculty teaching teams who are trained to provide first aid and emergency care. In case of need to refer the victim, we have tie up with Venkateshwar Hospital Dwarka which is just 10 minutes from the institute.
