Although the Blood Donation Organisation including the Emergency Wing, Disha and Rakta Kranti make up the core working wings of Sankalp India Foundation, there are small other teams who do not face the world but provide tons of support to these core working wings.
Sankalp India Foundation had an evenful October at Bangalore. Amid all the celebrations and festivities of Dusshera, Diwali volunteers made sure they stuck o their core jobs to ensure the organiation's work never came to a halt. Here is a snapshot of what happened in the previous month in Bangalore for Sankalp
Sankalp India Foundation is a voluntary youth organisation. Yes, a youth organisation. The eledest in the team are just 27 :). The youngest ones are 18.
The entire worforce @ Sankalp follows one mantra. Looking for blood? Call 9480044444. That is the number of the Disha helpline. The helpline guides people to the nearest place where safe blood is available. But sometimes there is no way, there is no place either near or far where the unit is available. What then.
2009 was the year when Sankalp became a full blown state wide organisation. All 3 major workin wings of Sankalp, namely the Emergency Wing, Disha and Rakta Kranti spread their wings. Disha connected the best blood banks across the state to the helpline.
The next in the series of innovations that Sankalp has brought into blood banking is a comprehensive blood donation drive management platform for blood banks.

There were tense moments during the time of Ayodhya Verdict. But during the verdict and the other time during the month, nothing stopped Sankalp from working towards the Goals. Here is what the Organization or rather all the wings in the organization have been workign upon to push Sankalp as a whole, a step closer to its dream!!
Come September 13, and the volunteers of Sankalp like to look back in time. In this very month in 2006, the dreams of a few young people was somehow looking much more realistic, much more ahieveable. All the hard work that went into taking up an emergency blood request and resolving it looked meaningful and purposeful. In the September of 2006, Disha was born.
30 September, 2010: While the entire nation was waiting to hear the Ayodhya verdict and the atmosphere was that of tension and apprehension, the Sankalp volunteers received an SMS announcing CodeRed*. Within next few minutes the organisation was on it's toes.
Currently, according to the Annual plan of Sankalp, most of our working wings tend to relax and come out of the execution semester and gear up for the planning semester. But, this year, the situation is such that, execution is still on the highest priority leaving less time for planning.
Recently a volunteer of the Sankalp emergency wing was interviewed on the current blood shortage that has hit the state due to dengue. Read on-
Q. Tell me about the situation?
