Lecture cum Demo Programme on Fire Fighting & first Aid Awareness on 10-09-2012

Major tragedies, experts' study says, could have been avoided, had the timely precautions were observed properly. One of the reasons for the recent disasters, which brought an end to many innocent lives, was unawareness about the handling of the First hand Fire Fighting appliances and First Aid Awareness among the people concerned. Keeping this view in mind the College management thought, it is necessary to conduct a Lecture cum Demo Programme on Fire Fighting & First Aid Awareness. Accordingly this demo was conducted at 3.00 pm on 10-09-2012, in front of I Year Block. The I Year Students, Teaching Staff, Non Teaching Staff, canteen workers and drivers of Vickram college of Engineering took part in this demo class. The programme was conducted by Mr.R.
