Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have emerged as a leading cause of death in India, posing a significant public health challenge. Several factors contribute to this high prevalence, including early onset risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and obesity. Additionally, a sedentary lifestyle and the typical Asian phenotype play crucial roles in this alarming trend. Notably, Indians are experiencing cardiovascular diseases almost a decade earlier than their Western counterparts, often resulting in high morbidity and mortality rates.

A significant portion of cardiac arrest-related mortality can be prevented through increased awareness and education regarding cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). CPR is a life-saving first aid technique that can be administered when someone experiences sudden cardiac arrest. Timely application of CPR can save up to 40% of lives in such critical situations.

CALS offers three levels of CPR learning, each tailored to cover specific topics, ranging from basic to advanced CPR techniques. Upon completion of each level, participants are awarded badges to signify their enhanced awareness of CPR.
