Recently a volunteer of the Sankalp emergency wing was interviewed on the current blood shortage that has hit the state due to dengue. Read on-
Q. Tell me about the situation?
 Ever heard of Tha
World Blood Donor Day is celebrated to create awareness about the importance of voluntary blood donation and encourage more people, especially the Youth, to become regular blood donors who donate two or three times in a year. Apart from encouraging people, 14th June is a day when the individuals who have saved lives by donating blood and become super hero are thanked and acknowledged.
Taking the same spirit ahead Sankalp planned an elaborate World Blood Donor Week at MSR Hospital and MSR Group of Institutions to carry forward the message.
 Although all reports indicate that the city is running at possibly the lowest levels of stocks for certain blood components, it is not that Sankalp is just complaining about it. Over the 2 month period from June 2010 to July 2010, Sankalp organised multiple blood donation drives with more than 1100 units of blood being collected. A million thanks to all the organisers and donors for standing up to the challenge. Here is a brief note on all the various camps held with different organisations.
With most of the Sankalp volunteers on vacation due to semester end holidays, only a handful of volunteers are involved in various Sankalp activities. Here is a snapshot of what happened in Sankalp over the last few days
 The dengue infections have reached their peak in Bangalore. We have scores of patients around the city receiving treatment for the same. A direct impact of this is the increase in workload of the Sankalp Emergency Team.
Normally after a good blood doonation drive we try to sit back for a while believing that the units collected in the drive will be available to the patients. However, this season it is different. On Saturday 17th July, we had more than an hour long session when the phone hardly was put away. We had more than 6 blood requests - all for platelets - and all of them for multiple units of platelets. The city is seeing the worst crunch for platelets. The poor staff at the call centre is reporting nil stocks for platelets for most part of the day and simply forwarding the requests to be handled as emergency. And for the emergency team, the challange of ensuring timely supply of platelets is becoming a bigger challange with each passing day.
 The World Blood Donor Day is celebrated on a world-wide scale on 14th June. This time Sankalp has taken the initiative to organize a Blood Donor Week  . The week highlights are inauguration of World Blood Donor Week, Donor Felicitation program organized in M. S. Ramaiah Memorial Hospital and Blood Grouping and Haemoglobin testing in all the Institutes in Ramaiah Campus.
Since it's inception, Sankalp has called itself a blood donation organisation. Those are big words for a bunch of engineers, because blood is a vast area in the medical field. understanding blood becomes highly critical for all volunteers and work in a more meaningful manner. there have been tremendous advancements in science and this has led to various new things.
One fine evening, Few of the volunteers of Sankalp emergency wing received a call. A patient in Gulbarga urgently needed AB- blood. Gulbarga is one of the remotest places in Karnataka with very little blood awareness, and finding a donor there was a tough challenge.
The Year 2009-10 was an eventful year for Sankalp India Foundation. The group of 30 individuals who call themselves Sankalp volunteers were kept very busy with the back to back activities that took place in the last year. We are happy to bring to you the yearbook of 2009-10.

Nevertheless, some things are always important and they have to move on. The clock ticks on, and so do the volunteers of Sankalp in their respective teams.
