Four volunteers from the Singcha Ghene Welfare Society participated in the 12-day Aapda Mitra program, an initiative by the Government of India to train volunteers across India in collaboration with the State Disaster Management, Government of Arunachal Pradesh. During the twelve-day training program, the volunteers were taught about various types of disasters, how to manage them, prevent them, or implement mitigation steps. They learned about earthquakes, landslides, floods, tsunamis, cyclones, thunderstorms, lightning, forest fires, biological emergencies, chemical emergencies, and more by SDRF trainers.  The training covered basic search and rescue operations, community-based first aid, MFR (medical first responder) techniques, providing pre-hospital treatment to injured victims, bleeding control, and assisting people after a disaster.  The trainers provided thorough knowledge and shared experiences, teaching through both theory and practical exercises, demonstrations, with utmost clarity.
