Police 👮‍♀️ Hospitals 🏥 Banks 🏦 Fire Brigade 🚒 Armed Forces 🪖 Post Office ✉️ Red Cross ⛑️

Many organizations work together to keep us safe, healthy and supported. The police maintain law and order, solve crimes, control traffic and help people who are lost or in trouble. Hospitals with doctors, nurses, ambulances and first-aid facilities treat the sick and injured. The fire brigade rushes to put out fires and rescue people during accidents and disasters.

Banks keep our money safe. We can deposit and withdraw money, open accounts and even borrow loans when needed. The post office is a reliable means to send letters, parcels and money orders; it also offers savings schemes. The armed forces—Army, Navy and Air Force—guard the borders, protect the seas and the sky, and also help in relief operations during floods, earthquakes and droughts.

Voluntary organizations such as the Red Cross provide emergency medical care, blood donation and relief material during calamities. We should use emergency numbers responsibly, follow safety rules and cooperate with these organizations. As good citizens we can help by donating, volunteering, keeping our surroundings safe and by showing respect to all helpers. Together these organizations make our lives safer, more orderly and more caring.

समाज में कई संस्थाएँ मिलकर हमें सुरक्षा, स्वास्थ्य और सहायता प्रदान करती हैं। पुलिस कानून-व्यवस्था बनाए रखती है, अपराधों की जाँच करती है, ट्रैफिक नियंत्रित करती है और रास्ता भटकने पर भी मदद करती है। अस्पतालों में डॉक्टर–नर्स बीमार और घायलों का उपचार करते हैं; एंबुलेंस तुरंत मरीज को पहुँचाती है। फायर ब्रिगेड आग लगने पर तेजी से पहुँचकर आग बुझाती है और लोगों की जान बचाती है।

बैंक हमारा पैसा सुरक्षित रखते हैं, खाते खोलते हैं और ज़रूरत पर ऋण भी देते हैं। डाकघर पत्र, पार्सल, मनीऑर्डर भेजने और कुछ बचत योजनाएँ चलाने का भरोसेमंद साधन है। सशस्त्र बल – सेना, नौसेना और वायुसेना – देश की रक्षा करते हैं और बाढ़, भूकंप, सूखा जैसे आपदाओं में राहत पहुँचाते हैं।

रेड क्रॉस जैसी सेवाभावी संस्थाएँ आपातकाल में प्राथमिक उपचार, रक्तदान और राहत-सामग्री उपलब्ध कराती हैं। हमें आपात नंबरों का जिम्मेदारी से उपयोग करना चाहिए, नियमों का पालन करना चाहिए और इन संस्थाओं के साथ सहयोग करना चाहिए। हम दान–सेवा, स्वच्छता व अनुशासन से भी मदद कर सकते हैं। इन सबकी वजह से हमारा जीवन सुरक्षित, व्यवस्थित और सहायक बनता है।
