21st January was a landmark day. It was the day when we discharged the 10th children from Sankalp-People Tree Center for Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplantation. The center which was inaugurated on 27th August 2015 has cured the first 10 children from thalassemia. All the children are doing well.
We undertook the responsibility of offering a reliable, rational and affordable cure from thalassemia and we are happy to share that with 100% success in the first 10 transplants we have made firm progress.
Organizing blood donation drives in December has always been a challenge given the fact that most individuals, corporates, students are all on vacations or prefer to spend time at home with families in order to come back afresh for the upcoming new year. Unfortunately the Chennai floods had it’s impact on blood donation drives in Bangalore as well.
As Sankalp Patrika celebrates six years of publication, we have a good news to share with you. Sankalp Patrika now has an International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) - 2455 – 409X.
This eight-digit serial number helps a serial publication get uniquely identified. The number is especially helpful in distinguishing between serials with the same title, ordering, cataloging, and archiving.
We would like to thank all our readers for their continued patronage. We promise to keep the torch of knowledge burning.
The history of our jawans is filled with lesser known tales. While some are lost in the pages of history, others went unnoticed and don’t have shining medals to associate with. We bring you three such tales of bravery.

Dear Readers,
We are happy to share the 6th volume of Sankalp Patrika with you. We took upon ourselves what seemed to be like a herculean task to prepare a 16 page newsletter every month way back towards the end of 2010. As we look back, we are very happy we decided to take that step. Sankalp Patrika has helped us connect far and wide.
