Although blood donation is a safe and well established procedure, certain blood donors face an adverse reaction either during or post donation. The severity of such reactions varies from person to person. However, a general pattern of the nature can be drawn. Such reactions may discourage these donors from donating again.
Rakta Kranti Karnataka Wing of Sankalp India Foundation is the wing which has the primary responsibility of organising safe blood donation drives across the state maily in educational institutions. 2009-2010 saw a sea of changes make its way into Sankalp. From a primarily Bangalore based operative unit, suddenly Sankalp was there all over Karnataka. The Disha team networked blood banks in major districts of the state and the Emergency Wing looked into finer aspects of providing emergency help in other parts of Karnataka.
