2009 was the year when Sankalp became a full blown state wide organisation. All 3 major workin wings of Sankalp, namely the Emergency Wing, Disha and Rakta Kranti spread their wings. Disha connected the best blood banks across the state to the helpline. Volunteers of the emergeny wing took up blood requests from every nook and corner of the state and learnt about how effectively to handle blood emergencies. Rakta Kranti was split wide open into Rakta Kranti Bangalore and Rakta Kranti Karnataka.
The next in the series of innovations that Sankalp has brought into blood banking is a comprehensive blood donation drive management platform for blood banks. This is an extension to the already existing TeamRed.In which Sankalp has been using for several years to ensure high quality blood donation drives
Sankalp's Rakta kranti Bangalore wing organised 4 blood donation drives in the city in September, collecting 651 units of blood. The team had a challenging month as there were both colleges and companies having drives, and 3 ou of the 4 drives were first time drives in the organisations/institutions.
There were tense moments during the time of Ayodhya Verdict. But during the verdict and the other time during the month, nothing stopped Sankalp from working towards the Goals. Here is what the Organization or rather all the wings in the organization have been workign upon to push Sankalp as a whole, a step closer to its dream!!
Come September 13, and the volunteers of Sankalp like to look back in time. In this very month in 2006, the dreams of a few young people was somehow looking much more realistic, much more ahieveable. All the hard work that went into taking up an emergency blood request and resolving it looked meaningful and purposeful. In the September of 2006, Disha was born.
30 September, 2010: While the entire nation was waiting to hear the Ayodhya verdict and the atmosphere was that of tension and apprehension, the Sankalp volunteers received an SMS announcing CodeRed*. Within next few minutes the organisation was on it's toes.
Goal
In case some major problem happened in Bangalore, participate in whatever capacity to help ease the situation.
