About the Partners

The WHO Collaborating Centre for Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion at National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), India’s premier neuroscience and mental health institution, brings unparalleled expertise in trauma care, research, policy development, and capacity building. With decades of leadership in injury prevention and emergency response systems, the Centre plays a pivotal role in advancing evidence-based approaches to saving lives.

Autoliv India Pvt Ltd, a global leader in automotive safety, is driven by a singular mission—to save more lives. Through cutting-edge technology, innovation, and community education initiatives, Autoliv continues to redefine safety standards worldwide.

The National Institute of Personnel Management (NIPM), India’s apex body for human resource management, focuses on advancing learning and development, strengthening member and community engagement, and driving policy advocacy.

Together, we have launched this transformative initiative to convert lay responder knowledge into confident, life-saving action. By equipping citizens with practical emergency response skills, we aim to bridge critical gaps in pre-hospital care and strengthen community resilience.

We are collaborating closely with Bengaluru Traffic Police and leading educational institutions across the city to build and scale lay responder capacity. This effort is further strengthened by the support of Laerdal Global Health, which has provided high-quality training manikins to enable hands-on, simulation-based learning.

Through this multi-sector partnership, we are committed to creating a safer, more prepared Bengaluru—where timely bystander response can save lives.
