22+ Years OF ORGANIZING BLOOD DONATION CAMPS

Donate Blood - Save Lives

JIYO AUR JEEVAN DO

The God Almighty has blessed us with lot of bounties, better than a lot many if we look upon our Nation. This realization motivated a few of our colleagues to come together and make an effort to return a little back to the society in one form or another. Though the efforts have been small yet we have been able to do them consistently over past more than 20 years.

First thing that came to our mind was Blood Donation and we started holding the Blood Donation Camps in 2001. We are fortunate that we have been able to regularly hold these camps and on the way, were able to fix the National Days of 26th January and 15th August, for holding the Camps. It is a matter of immense pride and satisfaction that we have been able to hold 56 camps so far, contributing 8322 units.

Over a period of time, our Blood Donors have become very regular Donors, waiting for 26th January and 15th August. It serves the dual purpose of noble job of blood donation as well as observing the National Festivals with lot of reverence and discharging social responsibility.
