What jeevaraksha trust does

JeevaRaksha Trust is a not-for-profit organization founded in 2008 as a special purpose vehicle created by Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), Karnataka, and the Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement (SVYM). It delivers certified emergency-care skill courses in India to doctors, nurses, paramedics, allied health professionals, and the lay public, anchored by three core programs: c-ECLS (4-day, doctors), ENLS (3-day, nurses), and BeCLS (1-day, allied health and lay public), plus Disaster Management and Instructor Development courses. Training is simulation-based, using mannequins and real-world scenarios, with a curriculum developed in collaboration with the University of Utah and certified by RGUHS — making c-ECLS the first University-recognized Emergency Care Skills Certificate program globally, predating the WHO Basic Emergency Course of 2018.

The organization operates across India through 656+ institutional partnerships (mandatory across 727 RGUHS affiliate colleges), a network of 1,974+ certified trainers, and offices in Bengaluru and Mysuru, with international pilots of the c-ECLS model in Morocco and Uzbekistan. Its go-to-market combines in-person training at partner institutions, hybrid and digital delivery via the JeevaRaksha LMS mobile app, community outreach events (e.g., Rotary road-safety bikeathons), and corporate CSR partnerships.

Revenue is generated from training program fees, individual donations eligible for Section 80G tax benefits, and corporate CSR funding, with no external venture or equity investment. As of 2025, the trust reports 43,258+ providers trained, 1,828+ courses delivered, and reach across 20+ Indian states, and has begun expanding into lay-public first-responder training under its 'Har Ghar JeevaRakshak' initiative.
