Rakta Kranti - the news from the blood donation drives

After the busy summer months of organising a huge number of camps, Sankalp slowed down the pace in August. During the month of August, plenty of organisations plan for blood donation drives due to Independence Day. Degree colleges would also have started classes and many of them plan for drives.

On 13th September 2014, Disha the blood help-line will be celebrating the 8th year of continuous service. Since the launch on the evening of 13th September 2006 at the Raj Bhawan by the then governor of Karnatataka Sh. T N Chaturvedi, the help-line has grown into a reliable, single window access to blood for all parts of Karnataka.

As we crossed the milestone of 50,000 units of blood collected in our blood donation drives, it's the occasion of celebration of the spirit of voluntary blood donation. 

We would like to thank and congratulate all the organisations who trusted us and supported us by regularly organising blood donation drives.
