AJKSA & J&K SDRF Organise Volunteer Training and Disaster Management Programme at Sumbal
Initiative launched by AJKSA President Molvi Imran Ansari aims to train youth across Jammu & Kashmir for emergency response and public assistance during disasters
Sumbal, 10th May 26: The All J&K Shia Association (AJKSA), in collaboration with J&K SDRF, today organised a Volunteer Training & Disaster Management Programme at Jamia Imam Jaffar Sadiq (AS), Sumbal, with participation of youth volunteers from different areas.
The programme was held under an initiative of AJKSA President Molvi Imran Ansari to prepare and train youth in every district of Jammu & Kashmir so they can provide immediate assistance during emergencies and also support authorities and rescue agencies whenever required.
During the training sessions, SDRF officials provided practical demonstrations and awareness regarding disaster response, emergency rescue techniques, first aid, evacuation procedures, flood response, and coordination during natural and man-made disasters. Volunteers were also educated about the importance of community preparedness and quick response during critical situations.
Speaking about the initiative, the organisers stated that trained local volunteers can play an important role during accidents, floods, fires, and other emergencies by reaching affected people quickly and assisting administration and rescue teams on the ground.
The programme received positive response from participants, who appreciated the effort to involve youth in humanitarian and public service activities.
It was further announced that similar training programmes will soon be organised in the districts of Srinagar, Budgam, and Baramulla. Special disaster management and volunteer training sessions for female participants will also be conducted in the coming phase of the initiative.
The organisers thanked J&K SDRF officials, volunteers, and all participants for their cooperation and contribution towards the successful conduct of the programme.
