BLOOD DONATION CAMP

Rotary Club of Green Greater Noida organised a Blood Donation Camp at Dronacharya Group of Institutions on 7th September 2016. The camp was organised under the banner of DGI -NSS Wing.

Prior to the Donation Camp, a Motivational Talk on Thalassemia and Blood Donation was conducted by Dr. Tejinder Singh on 6th September 2016, to create an awareness amongst students. Dr. Singh said that THALASEMIA MAJOR is a deadly genetic blood disorder causing severe anemia. One out of 25 in our population is a Thalassemia carrier. Ten thousand babies are born every year in India with Thalassemia Major. This alarming figure will accelerate if awareness campaigns are not addressed on a war footing by one and all.

On 7th September 2016, Dr.(Rtn.) R.K Dutta, Rtn. Kapil Gupta, Rtn. M P Singh, Rtn.Kapil Gupta, Rtn.Saurabh Bansal, Rtn.Vinod Kasana, Rtn.Mukul Gupta, Rt.Preeti Agarwal, Rtn. Praveen Garg, Rtn.Ashok Agarwal and Rtn.Amit Rathi visited the college with their medical staff.

The camp firstly started with the haemoglobin test followed by the blood pressure and sugar test after registration of the donors.

Students and staff members, who donated blood were very elated and had the feeling of self-contentment. All the donors were given a Donor Card and a gift mug.

126 unit of blood was collected. The camp folded at 4:00PM.

Prof. S.K. Bagga, Director-DGI, thanked all the donors for volunteering for the social cause. He expressed his gratitude to the Rotary Club of Green Greater Noida members for organising the camp.
