Jaipur: In a move that underscores the growing importance of public health preparedness, the Rajasthan government has honored Dr. V.K. Jain with the State Award for his sustained campaign to introduce mandatory CPR training in the state’s school curriculum.
Chief Minister Shri Bhajan Lal presented the award, citing Dr. Jain’s dual legacy — saving lives through CPR advocacy and protecting the environment through large-scale solar energy adoption, rainwater harvesting, and afforestation projects.
Dr. Jain’s proposal has found traction in policy circles, with education boards exploring ways to integrate CPR modules into secondary education. “We must empower our youth to be first responders. CPR is not optional, it’s essential,” he said.
The award also recognizes his contributions to cleanliness drives and environmental sustainability initiatives that align with the state’s climate resilience goals.
