SJA in India
St. John Ambulance India is the Indian branch of St. John Ambulance International. It has its national headquarters in Delhi and operates as a federation. The St. John Ambulance Association of India was started in 1912. Since Independence the India Chapter has its headquarters in New Delhi and is chaired by The Hon. President of India. There are two operational wings often called the Association Wing (which delivers first aid training) and the Brigade Wing (which operates the Ambulance service and delivers First Aid at public events).
Surgeon-Major William George Nicholas Manley of the Royal Regiment of Artillery established St John Ambulance in 1877. In 1912, the St John Ambulance Association was granted autonomy and the Council was created. The first Nursing division was established in 1913 and the first Cadet division in 1925. At independence, the Indian St John Council was granted entire control over the work that was being carried out in its 526 divisions.
History Of SJA International
St. John Ambulance, branded as St. John in some territories, is a common name used by a number of affiliated organisations in different countries, dedicated to the teaching and practice of medical first aid and the provision of ambulance services, all of which derive their origins from the St. John Ambulance Association founded in 1877 in the United Kingdom by the order of Queen Victoria. Commonwealth countries have this organisation in some form or other. The active uniformed first-aiders known as the St. John Ambulance Brigade were introduced in 1887. There are now more than 500,000 such volunteers worldwide. The St John motto: “For the service of Mankind”

What is First Aid
First Aid is the help given to any person, suffering from any injury or sudden illness, which helps to preserve his life, prevent his condition from deteriorating, and promote his recovery. It is given by any lay person trained as a First Aider, given on the spot, before the arrival of a Doctor or professional medical help.
The Importance of First Aid
During natural and man made disasters and accidents on roads, in factories and industries and in your homes, fast and effective first aid saves lives and restricts and limits the level and seriousness of injury to the human body.
When disaster strikes, it can often be hours or even days before medical experts arrive on the scenes e.g. The Nepal Earthquake. By training volunteers and the general public in First Aid, we can ensure that more people know what to do to keep victims alive.
In the past decade, 1.2 million Indians have died on the country’s roads. According to The National Crime Records Bureau In 2013 alone, over 443,000 road accidents were reported in India with 147,423 deaths as a result. India has one of the highest accident rates in the world.
