SRM-AP students in blood donation camp

By Our Special Correspondent

Over 500 students from educational institutions in Krishna, Guntur and NTR districts participated in a mega blood donation camp organized by the Youth Welfare Department at KBN Degree College here on Wednesday.

SRM University AP students and NSS volunteers participated in a blood donation Camp organized by KBN College here. Vice-Chancellor Prof VS Rao encourages students and staff to participate in this noble cause. Over 40 students donated blood in the mega blood donation camp.

Tourism Minister RK Roja inaugurated the blood donation camp. Speaking on the occasion, she said that the blood donation was nothing but giving a new life to those in trouble. She called on every individual to come forward to donate blood as donation camps could not be organized during Covid and hence blood stocks were declining.

The Youth Services department so far organized 48 blood donation camps this year and 2,395 units of blood have been collected from donors. “We are encouraging the youth by informing them of the need for blood donation by organizing such camps”, the minister said.

The students were also appreciated specially by Srinivasa Rao, CEO of Guntur STEP and the superintendent Chavala Srinivas.
