Chandigarh 29th Feb:- Chamber of Chandigarh Industries
under its corporate social responsibility initiative, organised the 22nd Blood
Donation Camp at the Community Centre, Industrial Area, Phase I, here.
As many as 250 units of blood were
collected at the camp.
Naveen Manglani, President, Chamber of
Chandigarh Industries said that we have already successfully conducted 21 blood
donation camps. Apart from an annual blood donation camp, the chamber from time
to time keeps taking social initiatives which are aimed at helping economically
weaker sections of society. The blood donation camps are held annually to help
in creating a buffer of this important resource.
The blood bank of Post Graduate
Medical College of Education and Research (PGIMER) collected the blood under
the supervision of Dr Suchet Sachdev.
Ashok Goel, General Secretary,
Chamber of Chandigarh Industries said that the unique aspect about the event
was that not only blood was collected but there were free of cost tests
available for Creatnine, Calcium, Sugar (Random)and Cholesterol. The Bharat
Vikas Parishad collaborated with the Chamber to provide this facility.
Rajwant Singh, Chairman, Blood Camp,
said that the donors by and large were chamber members, members of their families,
employees, and a sizable number of female donors also donated blood.
Senior officers heading different departments of Chandigarh Administration also
visited the camp.
Gifts and health tonics were
distributed to all the donors and a bhandara was also held for the industrial
employees. Such camps help in filling the wide gap between demand and supply of
the precious gift of life -blood. By conducting the camp the chamber has
provided an example which is worth emulating by other organisations and
society.
