Blood donation is also called Mahadaan because the blood donated by us can save the lives of many people. Blood donation is a suitable medium of social service that promotes social collectivism and empathy. It can be an example that we are part of a civilized and prosperous society that is ready to help other people. Donating blood produces new blood in the body, which also proves beneficial for the blood donor. It improves heart health, controls blood pressure and provides benefits for other health related problems. Blood donation not only helps in maintaining the physical health of the donor but also creates an excellent feeling in his soul. Donating blood is a simple process that can be done by any person. The most common way to contribute is by going to a local blood bank or blood donation camp.
Blood donation camps were organized across the country to mark the completion of 100 years of the Red Cross Society, established to protect human life. A unique blood donation camp was organized in Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, under the leadership of Mr. Ashutosh Purohit, Chairman of the Red Cross Society Madhya Pradesh branch, under which blood donors donated blood continuously for 24 hours. This blood donation camp was inaugurated by Madhya Pradesh Health Minister Mr. Tulsi Silavat. The speciality of this camp organized at the Red Cross Hospital Bhopal was that the blood donors of the city donated blood continuously for 24 hours. This camp, which continued for 24 hours, was recorded as a world record by the Golden Book of World Records with the title of “Most People Donating Blood in a Relay“. The certificate of world record was presented to Shri Ashutosh Purohit ji by Dr. Manish Vishnoi, Asia Head GBWR, Golden Book of World Records, who was specially present in the program, in the presence of special guests. People from all sections of society, including students, police home guard jawans, and students of medical nursing college, participated in this camp.
Expressing happiness over the world record, Red Cross Society Madhya Pradesh Branch Chairman Mr. Ashutosh Purohit said that “this type of camp was organized for the first time in the world”. On this occasion, the Secretary General of the Red Cross Society’s National Headquarters in New Delhi, Mr. RK Jain, President of Junior Red Cross Dr. NL Sharma, Red Cross Society General Secretary Dr. Prarthana Joshi and employees of the Red Cross office and hospital were present. Donors who donated blood in the Red Cross camp were given certificates and cards by the society through which in any emergency, the blood donor and his family members will be able to get blood from the Red Cross blood bank 24 hours a day without any donor.
