On 12 October 2023, Gifted Hands Foundation conducted an awareness and CPR training session at Anand Niketan School in Ahmedabad as part of The Heartbeat Movement, an initiative focused on building public awareness around rising heart-related concerns and emergency readiness.
What Happened
The Heartbeat Movement was created as an awareness initiative by Gifted Hands Foundation to bring CPR training sessions and heart-health awareness into community spaces across the city. As part of this effort, the foundation conducted a session at Anand Niketan School, Ahmedabad.
The session introduced students to the importance of timely response during a heart-related emergency and helped make CPR awareness more visible in a familiar learning environment.
Who It Was For
The training session was conducted for students from grades 8 to 12. This age group is old enough to understand the seriousness of emergency response while still being at a stage where awareness can shape long-term attitudes toward health, safety, and civic responsibility.
For Gifted Hands Foundation, schools are meaningful spaces for this kind of initiative. A school session can start conversations beyond the room itself: among students, teachers, families, and the wider school community.
Hands-On Awareness
Gifted Hands Foundation has CPR dummies and practical training equipment that support hands-on awareness sessions. These tools help make CPR education more concrete by allowing participants to see and engage with the process in a practical format.
At Anand Niketan School, the use of training equipment helped move the session beyond a lecture-style awareness talk. Practical demonstration can make the topic easier to understand, especially for students encountering CPR awareness for the first time.
The goal was awareness and readiness, not unsupported medical claims. The session helped students understand why preparedness matters and why CPR training should be taken seriously through proper guidance.
