Knowledge that helps people survive
HowToSurvive.in is a public-awareness and survival-knowledge initiative by VFF India Foundation, connected with the broader life-safety mission of Shivay Fire & Life Safety.
A lesson born from the Takshashila fire
From the day we are born, everyone teaches us how to live — but very few teach us how to survive.
We learn how to earn, travel, use fire and live our daily lives. But when something suddenly goes wrong, most people do not know what to do. HowToSurvive.in exists to change that.
Learn before the emergency
We provide knowledge, skills, awareness and practical guidance so people can prevent risk, protect themselves, help others and act correctly before professional help arrives.
Every preventable loss can become a lesson that protects another life.
Three core areas
Data & Reports
Statistics, trends and essential safety information placed in clear context.

Case Studies
Real incidents explained as lessons: what happened, what went wrong, what could have prevented it and what others should do.
