The First Call
The first time when we received a call from someone who required platelets for his daughter, it was a completely unheard of request for us. We struggled through the day searching for every small piece of information we could get (from web and from the doctors) to gain confidence and get a deeper understanding of this process of giving platelets that the doctors called apheresis.
Today: Sankalp Pioneers Apheresis
This was about 18 months back. Today, we are proud to tell you that we have been pioneering voluntary platelet donation in the city of
The one year since our first apheresis request was spent in carefully examining and understanding this method. In line with the basics of our organization, we treat the well being and the safety of the donor first. To ensure that the process is safe enough for a donor we dug into medical science journals, international websites and of-course, the local doctors and transfusion specialists. To our amazement, we found that this process was equally safe as a blood donation. And adding to its virtues is the fact that one can donate platelets up to 24 times in a year.
We Care For You
When Sankalp started with platelet apheresis, we first had our volunteers go ahead with the donation. We ensured that the process is executed out in
When are platelets required?
Platelets are the clotting factor in blood. Whenever we have an injury, it is the platelets that ensure that the site of bleeding is plugged. They also help in proper circulation of blood. In an adult, a normal count is about 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter (x 10–6/Liter) of blood.1 But some people who are suffering from Dengue, Cancer and many other problems have extremely low platelet counts. Unfortunately chemotherapy that is done to treat cancer destroys the platelets in the blood. In these life threatening conditions the only hope is the supply of platelets to the patient. With the number of cases of dengue on a rise in the city the demand for platelets has seen an unprecedented rise in the past few months.

Amarnath's Experience
"The first time I was called to donate platelets by Sankalp I was a little unsure about the whole thing. When I reached the blood bank, I found a cheerful Sankalp Volunteer who explained to me the entire process. He explained the eligibility to donate and what care if being toaken to ensure that I am 100% safe. After that it was all easy. In the next two hours I spent the most memorable time of my life understanding that these two hours and my platelets will together give a person another chance to live" - Amarnath (B+ve platelets donor, MSRIT).

The early history of British expansion in India was characterised by the co-existence of two approaches towards the existing princely states. The first was a policy of annexation, where the British sought to forcibly absorb the Indian princely states into the provinces which constituted their Empire in India. The second was a policy of indirect rule, where the British assumed suzerainty and paramountcy over princely states, but conceded some degree of sovereignty to them. .. 
India, a nation that has undergone complete transformation after it got independence from the British Rule.

India and space laws: A millennium perspective
India is a country with a diversity of languages. Out of more than one thousand mother tongues, only eighteen languages are included in the eighth schedule of the Indian Constitution. Development of a particular state or region, to a very great extent, depends on the development of its regional language. This was an important reason given at the time of the formation of linguistic states, though many criticized such a linguistic “division” or “re-organization”.

3rd December 1984 Shortly after midnight poison gas leaked from a factory in Bhopal, India, owned by the Union Carbide Corporation.

The Ancient Legend 
The All India Muslim League (AIML) was formed in Dhaka in 1906 by Muslims who were suspicious of the Hindu-majority Indian National Congress. They complained that Muslim members did not have the same rights as Hindu members. A number of different scenarios were proposed at various times. Among the first to make the demand for a separate state was the writer/philosopher Allama Iqbal, who, in his presidential address to the 1930 convention of the Muslim League said that a separate nation for Muslims was essential in an otherwise Hindu-dominated subcontinent.
