Reporters from Vijay Karnataka and Bangalore Mirror approached Sankalp and offered to write an exclusive report on Sankalp. So we can see a report in these papers one of these days.
Volunteers approached a class of students of Sapthagiri College, and found a few volunteers in the college to spread the awareness about the blood scene in the city. These students in turn took a great initiative and took the message to all other classes. Posters were put up on Monday and the week that followed was the “Blood Awareness Week”.
After a long battle with the government hospitals on the need to have a Centralized Blood Information System and the need for the govt hospitals to participate, finally there has been some good sign
Just recently Victoria Hospital and Indira Gandhi Institute of Child Health agreed to participate in CTC Disha by providing their blood statistics daily.
Rakta Kranti:
(a)Colleges: There is a blood donation camp in Sapthagiri College of Engineering on 15th March. There will be a week called “Blood Awareness Week”, where the students will be made aware of the Blood scenario. Then, at the end of the week, the camp will be organized. On the same day, the Volunteers will perform a skit with a strong message about 100% voluntary blood donation.
A busy phase, for all blood related volunteers, has begun. Following the start of semester in February, increased enthusiasm, better plans and works have been taken. Issues like drawbacks of previous semester and other problems were discussed along with their solutions and improvements. All volunteers will be given blood requests cases, including freshers who will get a good exposure this way. This requires the volunteers to be prepared all the time to take up cases and also balance with other things too, like studies.
