Class 10 dropout with no formal training rescues 2,000 people during floods in Assam

Shravan, a Class 10 dropout, rescued nearly 2,000 people stranded during recent floods in Assam's Sivasagar district. The 25-year-old carried out rescues using only a traditional wooden boat and his knowledge of local waterways, despite having no formal rescue training or a motorboat. Along with volunteers, Shravan rescued children, women, elderly people and patients from five flood-hit villages.
