Until recently, aging has been a neglected subject in India by both administrators and academicians. But the socio-economic scenario of the country is changing very fast. This has far-reaching consequences on the lives of the aged. The life expectancy of the population at every age is also increasing very fast. The increasing health and medical facilities in the country and improved standard of living helped to add years to life with the result that the elderly are living longer than they used to in older days. The main objective of this paper was to provide some information about the socio-demographic characteristics and disability status of the rural elderly. This study was conducted in the Mannadipet commune out of 3 rural communes in the Puducherry district.

Background: Every parent of a child knows that it is hard enough to keep their child safe at home but when the child goes off to school there is a whole new set up of challenges. Parents totally entrust their children to the schools. They rely on the teachers as their second parents in the institute for learning. They know for a fact that their educators will want no harm to come their way. While they are busy working, they fully believe that their children are well cared for. On the other hand, teachers have the responsibility to keep an eye on their students. They should make sure that they are comfortable and secure within the four walls of their school. This then calls for their ability to handle even the most stressful situations. So much more, the school staff, especially the health teacher has to be equipped with the knowledge of first aid.
