Quiz drop for the day [Apr 10th]

The Knights Hospitaller (a Christian organization formed in Jerusalem ) were the first to bring the concept of 'X' and practice it. In 1877 , St. John's ________ [Disclosing this word would be a give away :)] were the first to teach this practice officially by forming rooms and teaching centres in railways and mining areas. 'X' was started by a Swiss man, who helped a group of villagers help soldiers in the Battle of Solferino.

The Swiss man was awarded the 1st Nobel Prize in 1901 for forming X.

What is X ?


Trivia revealed [Apr 9th]:
X – RK Laxman, Y – Bal Thackeray (RK was reminded of William Makepeace ‘Thackeray’) . Offcourse, one of them became famous for the "Common Man" and the other was quite an "uncommon" person !!
