इनमें महिलाएं और बच्चियां भी शामिल थीं।
यह आयोजन गैर सरकारी समाजसेवी संगठन (एनजीओ) जन एकता सेवा संस्थान (रजि.) के संचालक बलदेव कुमार के प्रयासों से किया गया। बलदेव कुमार पिछले दस साल से कश्मीर के लोगों के लिए कार्य कर रहे हैं और कश्मीर के लोग उन्हें अपना चाचा कहते हैं। सर्दियों में कश्मीरी नागरिकों को कंबल एवं खाने का सामान आदि वितरित करना, रक्तदान शिविर लगाना आदि समाजसेवा के कार्य बलदेव करते रहते हैं। 
बुधवार को नयागांव के आदर्श नगर रामलीला ग्राउंड में तीसरे रक्तदान शिविर का आयोजन किया गया। इस शिविर का उद्धघाटन नयागांव के पार्षद गुरध्यान सिंह ने कश्मीर की बेटियों सहित किया। मूनलाइट वेलफेयर सोसाइटी बी.के. पोरा, बड़गाम, कश्मीर के 60 वालंटियर्स ने इस कैम्प में हिस्सा लिया। पीजीआई की डॉ अनिता और उनकी टीम ने 140 यूनिट ब्लड एकत्रित किया। 
बलदेव कुमार ने बताया कि इससे पहले कश्मीर में जो रक्तदान शिविर लगाए जाते थे उनमें पचास से भी कम यूनिट रक्त एकत्र होता था। परंतु जब उन्होंने वहां रक्तदान शिविर लगाया तो उसमें आंकड़ा सौ से भी ऊपर पहुंच गया। आज कश्मीर विभिन्न हिस्सों से लोग खासतौर से रक्तदान करने के लिए शहर पहुंचे हैं।
बलदेव कुमार ने बताया कि सिर्फ उन्हें कश्मीरियों से प्यार हैं बल्कि कश्मीरियों को भी उनसे उतना ही प्यार है। इसी के चलते उन्होंनें इस बार यह रक्तदान शिविर नयागांव में आयोजित करने का निर्णय लिया।
भारत माता की जय के नारों से बनाया देशभक्ति का माहौल:
कश्मीर भारत का हिस्सा है और कश्मीर से कन्याकुमारी तक भारत एक है। भारत माता की जय, वंदे मातरम। कुछ ऐसे ही नारे सुनने को मिले कश्मीरी भाइयों और बहनों के मुँह से। कश्मीर के मूनलाइट वेलफेयर सोसाइटी के वालंटियर्स ने बताया कि हम भारत को अपना देश मानते हैं और हमारे अंदर भी उतनी ही देशभक्ति है जितनी देश के अन्य किसी व्यक्ति में है। हम खुलकर सामने आए हैं और हमें कोई डर नहीं ऐसा कहने में कि भारत हमारा देश है। भारत माता की जय। हिन्दू, मुस्लिम, सिख, ईसाई भाई-भाई। हिंदुस्तान जिंदाबाद। अखंड भारत हमारा सपना है।

NeuroGen Brain & Spine Institute Gifts A New Life & Functional Independence to 32 Year old Male Patient

By Tricitynews Reporter
Chandigarh 06th December:- Rehabilitation of the spinal cord injured individuals is far one of the most challenging fields for the rehabilitation experts. Till today, there is very little to claim as a panacea for the spinal cord injury or regeneration of the damaged spinal cord. However the researchers all over the world find great hope in stem cell therapy (SCT) and it has been proved beyond doubt that the results with SCT coupled with good comprehensive rehabilitation is better than just giving SCT. Therefore, the rehabilitation is being given a better facelift by SCT.
Dr Alok Sharma Professor & Head of Neurosurgery, LTMG Hospital & LTM Medical College, Sion Mumbai and Director NeuroGen Brain & Spine Institute said that spinal Cord Injury affects the person’s functional independence and has a major impact on quality of life, sense of self worth and consequential social participation. Whilst it is generally expected that the degree of functional independence achievable is dependent on a person’s spinal cord injury level, a person’s neurological level should not be viewed as strictly predictive but rather as indicative of potential function.
Spinal Cord injury occurs after road traffic accidents, railway accidents, falls from heights and sports injuries. It affects 25 out of every 10 lakh people. The consequences of spinal cord injury, whether it is paraplegia or quadriplegia, are severe and crippling.
Dr Nandini Gokulchandran, Deputy Director and Head Medical Services, NeuroGen Brain and Spine Institute said that it has been a long standing belief that patients with paraplegia and quadriplegia following spinal cord injury (SCI) will remain wheelchair bound or bedridden for the rest of their lives. The medical community has always felt devoid of a tool to make these patients walk again. But, now with the emerging era of stem cell therapy we can make a difference in the quality of life of these patients and help them get back to their feet once again.
Here is a case report of Rakesh Singh, 32-year-old male and a known case of complete traumatic SCI (Spinal Cord Injury) at the level D8-L1 with bowel and bladder involvement. Six years ago in the year 2011, he fell from the balcony while sleeping injuring his spinal cord thereby causing loss of sensations below the waist.  He was immediately admitted at a hospital in Amritsar and was operated.  After 8 days, he got discharged and started physiotherapy at home. Gradually he regained independent sitting in 6 months.  In 2014, he got sacral sore, which got healed in 6-7 months.
Patient Rakesh Singh that physiotherapy was stopped 2 years ago due to a fracture in his left thigh.  At that time, he was unable to walk or stand independently, had no sensations below the waist and no bowel/bladder control.  Was partially dependent for his everyday living activities (ADLs).  The most difficult part was he had become non ambulatory.
