Jaipuria Institute of Management, Indore organised a blood donation camp in association with the M Y Hospital on its campus at Dakachya, Indore on January 30th , 2013. The event saw the entire institute turn up as blood donors, including students, staff, faculty, spouses and friends. M Y Hospital will use the collected blood for children with Thalassemia, who need regular blood transfusions.<\/p>\n
Addressing the gathering, the Director of the Institute, Dr. J. P. Upadhyay, said, \u201cBlood donation is the greatest of all donations, as it saves the lives of people\u201d. Encouraging the younger generation to donate blood, he continued, \u201cIt is the right time to give blood, as you\u2019re young and every contribution you make augurs well for the future of our nation\u201d. He lauded the coordinators for the camp, Prof. Pooja Kushwaha, Mr. Gautam Pandey and Mr. Rahul Bairagi, for creating this opportunity for every donor. <\/p>\n
There were several first-time donors like Ankit Chaurasia, PGDM Class of 2014, who shared his experience saying, \u201cI was initially a bit skeptical about donating blood. But seeing the response of my fellow students, I realised this was my best chance to start contributing to a larger cause and I made up my mind to donate. I feel really proud of myself and will be a regular blood donor.\u201d There were regular donors in the student body who encouraged the first-timers. Vasundhara Bharadwaj, PGDM Class of 2013, said, \u201cI\u2019ve been donating blood since my junior college days. It\u2019s healthy, fun and most of all, makes you feel very good. It\u2019s just a needle prick, and after that, it\u2019s all simple\u201d.<\/p>\n
Citing the statistics about the need for blood in India, the doctors from M Y Hospital said, \u201cThere is need for ten million units of blood, whereas we have only five million units. Every drop counts.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Upadhyay closed the camp by saying, \u201cWe thank our donors for their participation and will continue to associate ourselves with such initiatives in the near future. This is in extension to our CSR initiative for the nearby villages, Ugam and Dayitva. Perhaps the next camp will include the nearby villages and we can incorporate further health tips for the villagers as well. This is just the start; we hope to do better for society and our students, always.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
