The Brand New Sankalp T-Shirts are on their way. It costs Rs 250, gray in color and is available in Small (S), Medium (M), Large (L), Xtra Large (XL) sizes.

One of the unique characteristics of Sankalp is the fact that all volunteers are not from the medical community. Stumped? Almost all of the 30 volunteers who work on various aspects in the filed of blood are engineers!. Somehow even though the self learning curve is pretty high amongst the volunteers, there will be those strange topics which will still linger as why what and how.

The emergency wing of Sankalp are always on their toes attending to emergency blood requests. Requests for rare blood groups, from places not heard of and more. All these have become a part of their daily routine. Helpling people find the right unit of blood at the right time has been the overall objective, and the team does it efficiently well. For the record in 7 years since it's existence not a single request for blood was dropped.

One more blood request was catered! One more life was saved! The volunteers of Sankalp emergency wing had one more story to tell!

Although the graph of blood availability in the state has stabilised over the years in Bangalore, summers are still a time of extreme need. Dengue is one killer disease which demands for a lot of units of blood to be available in blood banks. Rakta Kranti Bangalore team is gearing up to the task of making blood available in these critical months

As Sankalp embarked upon the journey of building a statewide helpline for blood, the promise was made to visit every district of the state and network the good blood banks to the helpline. When the helpline was formally launched last year, sufficient work had been done to cover more than 80% of the area form where blood requests are generated. The idea was to do the remaining before Sankalp turned 7 on 23 May 2010
