Blood Donation Organization

On 23rd May 2003 when a patient in one of the city hospitals died because he did not receive blood on time, Sankalp was born.

The commitment was simple. Whenever there is any requirement of blood which the blood banks in the city fail to satisfy, we requested them to forward it over to us. Sankalp 24 X 7 X 365 emergency blood helpline has been working since then taking up all emergency blood requests that come up.

The fragmented nature of the blood transfusion services led to un-necessary competition and seclusions. Blood banks did not work as one unit. We conceptualized and eventually realized a single helpline number that gave information about blood availability in various blood banks in Bangalore. Need Blood - Call 1062 Every time the donor went to donate, he/she was doubtful about his/her safety. Is this the right place to donate? Am I safe? Will they sell my blood? These questions were raised frequently and there were no sure answers.. Each party blew it's own trumpet. We explored, we studied and we came up with solution. We came up with information that answers the donor's questions and ensures the safest of all donations. The blood banks across the country face a problem in delivering good quality of service to the people. They are many time unable to deliver the gift of life. To ensure safe and sustainable supply of blood it was realized that enrollment of Voluntary Non-remunerative blood donors was a must. People wanted to donate blood. But there was little organized help to conduct camps. We are working on Rakta Kranti, the road to 100% Voluntary Non- Remunerative Blood donation. We are slowly changing attitudes. we are slowly pushing in reforms. We are providing help, but at the same time we are empowering people to help themselves. Read on to explore Sankalp Blood Donation Organization.

    Hi

    How about networking with local bangalore colleges like Seshadripuram College (Swastik), KLE College (Rajajinagar), MES College (Malleswaram), Christ College (Near Forum), Jain College, National College (near Basavangudi), Vijaya College ( Basavangudi, Jayanangar area), Mount Carmel College and maybe even some other engineering/medical/graduate colleges in other parts of Bangalore.

    If the management/principal/individual-in-power of these institutions agree there could be an announcement made in case of emergency and the number of students who are aplenty here would be more than eager to get out class for a good purpose :)

    This model worked out successfully for one of the operations which required fresh blood ( < 24 hours ), in which an announcement was made at Seshadripuram College and flocks of students were ready to donate blood.

    Not sure if such a thing already exists or if the similar idea is already discussed.

    Integration of states

    The early history of British expansion in India was characterised by the co-existence of two approaches towards the existing princely states. The first was a policy of annexation, where the British sought to forcibly absorb the Indian princely states into the provinces which constituted their Empire in India. The second was a policy of indirect rule, where the British assumed suzerainty and paramountcy over princely states, but conceded some degree of sovereignty to them. ..

    Linguistic Division of States

    India is a country with a diversity of languages. Out of more than one thousand mother tongues, only eighteen languages are included in the eighth schedule of the Indian Constitution. Development of a particular state or region, to a very great extent, depends on the development of its regional language. This was an important reason given at the time of the formation of linguistic states, though many criticized such a linguistic “division” or “re-organization”.

    Food shorages on 60s and Green Revolution


    It is hard to imagine today that there existed a time in independent India when the then Prime Minister of the country, Sw. Lal Bahadur Shastriji had to appeal to the nation to skip one meal a day. Our nation saw one of the darkest era when we faced acute shortage of food in the 60s. Ships from America brought in bad quality grain as charity to feel us and the Nation battled with the problems of rising prices and hunger.

    Indo-Pakistan Conflicts/ Wars

    The All India Muslim League (AIML) was formed in Dhaka in 1906 by Muslims who were suspicious of the Hindu-majority Indian National Congress. They complained that Muslim members did not have the same rights as Hindu members. A number of different scenarios were proposed at various times. Among the first to make the demand for a separate state was the writer/philosopher Allama Iqbal, who, in his presidential address to the 1930 convention of the Muslim League said that a separate nation for Muslims was essential in an otherwise Hindu-dominated subcontinent.
