On August 27, 2025, Inspiria Knowledge Campus became a hub of life-saving learning as it hosted the Basic Life Support (BLS) Program, a cornerstone event under the North Bengal Healthcare Connect 2025 initiative. This hands-on, dynamic program attracted a diverse group of healthcare experts, hospital management students, and faculty members, creating an immersive and impactful educational environment.
A Transformative Learning Experience: The BLS Program at Inspiria Knowledge Campus
The Basic Life Support (BLS) Program turned Inspiria Knowledge Campus into a hub of purpose and empowerment, a standout initiative under North Bengal Healthcare Connect 2025. Organised by the CII North Bengal Health Panel in collaboration with Kins Hospital, the event was more than just a workshop. Hosts for the program were Angshu Tamang and Jerome Mondal, both second-year BBA-HM students.
It equipped students, faculty, and aspiring healthcare professionals with the confidence and practical skills to respond in real-life emergencies. From hands-on CPR training to critical response techniques, participants didn’t just learn, they stepped into the role of potential life-savers. The program was a perfect blend of academic theory and practical skills, designed to prepare students for real-world healthcare challenges.
The event focused on a hands-on, practice-first approach. Expert trainers from Kins Hospital guided participants step by step through essential CPR techniques and emergency response procedures. Using mannequins for live demonstrations, they made sure everyone had the chance to try things out for themselves, not just watch.
Students didn’t just sit and learn; they rolled up their sleeves and got involved. This interactive training helped them build real confidence and practical skills, so they’ll know exactly what to do when it matters most. For many, it was the first time turning classroom theory into real-world action, and that made all the difference.
Bridging Academia and Industry: A Collaborative Endeavour
A key highlight of the BLS Program was the active involvement of Hospital Management students, who took on essential roles behind the scenes. From managing registrations to assisting trainers and ensuring smooth coordination throughout the event, their hands-on participation offered real-world exposure to healthcare event management. It gave them a valuable glimpse into how such programs are planned and executed, an experience that blended logistics, teamwork, and professionalism in a healthcare setting.
What made this initiative truly impactful was the strong collaboration between academia and industry. The CII North Bengal, with support from dignitaries like Mr. Pradeep Singhal and Mr. Rup Kumar Chowdhury, played a pivotal role in bringing this opportunity to campus. Meanwhile, Kins Hospital contributed skilled trainers who led the BLS sessions with expertise and energy.
