March was a strong and encouraging month for voluntary blood donation at Sankalp India Foundation, driven by the collective efforts of corporate partners, institutions, residential communities, and individual donors who continue to show up when it matters.
Over the course of the month, 16 blood donation drives were conducted, resulting in a total collection of 1,260 units of blood. Each unit plays a vital role in supporting children living with thalassemia, who depend on regular transfusions for survival and stability.
The month began with a community-driven effort at Vithola Apartment, followed by a steady momentum of camps hosted by organisations such as Tata Consulting Engineers, Infosys BPM, and Thermofisher Scientific. Educational institutions including the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research and Indian Academy Degree College also contributed meaningfully, reflecting growing awareness among younger communities.
Some of the largest contributions came from Infosys Ltd., which organised camps across two days and collected 319 units, and Textron India Pvt. Ltd. with 113 units. Atria Institute of Technology and Onesource Speciality Pharma also hosted impactful drives, further strengthening the month’s efforts.
Deutsche Bank Group continued its long-standing support by organising camps on multiple days, contributing 119 units. Their sustained engagement remains a key pillar in ensuring a reliable blood supply for patients in need.
What stands out is not just the scale of contribution, but the diversity of participation. From large corporations to residential communities like Bilden Meadows and Jahhavi Enclave, and service organisations such as Rotaract Cantonment and Rotary Club, the spirit of voluntary donation was visible across segments.
Each drive represents more than numbers. It reflects awareness, willingness, and a shared responsibility towards patients who rely on safe and timely transfusions.
As we move forward, this collective effort continues to be critical in ensuring that no child’s treatment is delayed due to a shortage of blood.
At Sankalp, we remain grateful to every organisation and individual who contributed to making March a month of strong, community-driven impact.
