As Sankalp embarked upon the journey of building a statewide helpline for blood, the promise was made to visit every district of the state and network the good blood banks to the helpline. When the helpline was formally launched last year, sufficient work had been done to cover more than 80% of the area form where blood requests are generated. The idea was to do the remaining before Sankalp turned 7 on 23 May 2010
