When I visited India last time about 6 months ago, my father in law passed away with sudden death. He did not get any CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) at that time and we were not near them at that moment. For increasing chances of survival for anyone who suddenly become unresponsive CPR can be given by anyone nearby until medical ambulance or care is available.
There are the simple steps of CPR that everyone should know.
1. Tap person hardly and ask Are you ok, If no answer then
2. Call for help. 911 at USA or 108 in India for assistance
3. Open the mouth, with the person lying on his or her back, tilt the head back
4. Check for breathing. Check putting hand near nose or look for chest movement. If no breathing begin CPR.
Steps of CPR:

Place your hands, one on top of the other like making a bird sign with hand. Put it in the middle of the chest just above the abdomen. Keep the elbow straight. So, your body weight can help you do deep compressions that are at least 5 cms deep. Do atleast 100 compressions per minute. Push hard, push fast.
2. Breething: 2 blows per minutes
Tilt person's head back, pinch nose, open his mouth and blow in to his/her mouth so the person's chest can raise. Blow two times and then continue with chest compression.
Continue CPR steps. Keep doing chest compressions and breathing at a ratio of 100:2 until the person starts breathing or ambulance or doctor arrives.
