The Process
When an emergency is reported through 1-0-8, the call taker gathers the needed basic information and dispatches appropriate services. Basic information obtained includes:
- Where the call is placed from (District/Taluka/City/Town/exact location/landmark)
- The type of emergency
- Number of people injured and the condition of the injured
- The caller’s name and contact number – for location guidance if required
Emergency help dispatched through this process is expected to reach the site of the emergency in an average of 18 minutes. Pre-hospital care will be given to patients being transported to the nearest hospital.
The 108 Emergency Response Service should be called:
- To save a life
- To report a crime in progress
- To report a fire
- Anytime an emergency response is required for medical, law enforcement and fire.

“Healthy parenting is nothing if not a process of empowerment. As we help to raise our children’s self-esteem, we also increase their personal power. When we encourage them to be confident, self-reliant, self-directed, and responsible individuals, we are giving them power.”
—Louise Hart (20th century)
“[Wellesley College] is about as meaningful to the educational process in America as a perfume factory is to the national economy.”
