Being a socially responsible organisation, LPU joined hand with the Indian Red Cross Society (IRCS) and took an initiative to organise a Two Day Blood Donation Camp which was inaugurated by Mrs. Rashmi Mittal- Executive Dean-LPU amidst the presence of visiting doctors and donor students in the Lovely Campus. She underlined the importance of blood donation and said that annually, lakhs of people die in India because of want to blood at the right time. There is limited awareness and lot of myths with respect to blood donation among people. People should get aware and understand that a little donation from their side translates into saving of a precious life.
A team of 15 professionals of Indian Red Cross Society, from New Delhi and Jalandhar branches including Dr. Vanashree Singh (Director-Blood Bank, IRCS) and Dr. Gangandeep Singh, Blood Transfusion Officer, Civil Hospital-Jalandhar, conducted the program at University Campus. The students and faculty members from various schools and University donated 400 units of blood in the program.
The students were also checked for Hemoglobin count & Blood Sugar levels. Mrs. Mittal applauded the stretching steps of the students and said that education should not be limited to imparting learning but the real motive is to make a person capable of delivering good to others. Heavy participation by such number of students in the event revealed the attainment of said objective and it is encouraging points to the success of the drive.
