To Sir, with love and gratitude - About 250 former students had a house built for their teacher

RASIPURAM: In a rare gesture, the old students of a school here have shown their gratitude to one of their teachers by having a two-storey house built for him.

The old students of Sengunthar Mahajana Higher Secondary School at Gurusamypalayam village, who are living in Namakkal district, hit upon the idea of donating a new house, after they found that their 83-year-old former Tamil teacher V. Venkataraman was living in a small rented house.

EMRI 108 Ambulance Service in Tamilnadu

For your awareness. Useful message from Alamelu.Suresh@mphasis.com

"I am sharing my personal experience with "108" (EMRI) on their Quick response.

When I travel from Pondicherry to Coimbatore last Sunday (02-08-09)
Night by Bus, the bus met an accident with lorry in National Highway
Nearby "Atthur" Landmark: "Paaventhar college of Arts and Science".

Two of my co-passenger got injured.

One is lady and second is her baby of 15months old.

The lady had an injury in her hand and the baby was motionless. The
First-Aid kit is also missing in the bus.

The accident happened at mid-night 00:57am.

On seeing the condition of the baby and mother, I immediately called
108 at 00:59am. Explained the state of injured persons and location of
the place, Village, District & Taluk (assisted by a local person). It
took around 3minutes.

At 01:03am (within a minute) I got a call from 108 with a conference
to the district level center explained the exact location and
Condition of the persons injured. It took around 3minutes.

At 01:08am again I got a call from the Ambulance saying that they are
on the way to accident spot.

To be surprise, the Ambulance reached the spot at 01:17am and started
the treatment. The baby was brought to the active state (may be due to
Timely attempt by 108-EMRI) and medicines given for injured lady. At
the end of their treatment both of them came to normal.

The EMRI 108 Ambulance reached the spot within 15minutes from the
Receipt of information to them

Here I would like express one thing that except me, none of the
Co-passengers were not aware of 108...

As I am aware of 108 through training given for EMERGENCY EVACUATION
DRILL conducted in June ´09, I could help the co-passengers.

Kindly share this experience, so that the people can make use of
wonderful service provided by EMRI - "108" in Tamilnadu. "
