NAMMAI KAAKUM MUTHALUTHAVI THITTAM
School is not just a place for academic learning; it is also a vital space where students develop essential life skills. One such crucial life skill is first aid awareness. Basic first aid knowledge helps students respond calmly and responsibly during emergencies, builds self-confidence, and nurtures a strong sense of social responsibility.
Recognizing the importance of early first aid education, THFCT introduced the project “Nammai Kaakum Muthaluthavi Thittam.” This initiative aims to educate school students about first aid practices and emergency response. The project is being successfully implemented in several schools across the Sivagangai District, benefiting thousands of students and creating a safer, more prepared student community.
