Best Practices of MBPG College: Blood Donation Camp

Title: "Safe Blood for All: MBPG College's Commitment to Humanity"

Introduction

India has one of the world’s youngest populations in an aging world. The youth constitute 22% of India’s population. But, India accounts for one-fifth of the deaths worldwide especially in younger population due to cardiovascular disease (WHO Report). Donating blood reduces the risk of heart diseases. So, an effort is made to educate and motivate the students to donate blood from time to time.

Educating and motivating the students assumes significance due to the following challenges:

Less awareness among students of the importance of blood donation.
Addressing the myth in students that donating blood reduces the quantity of blood in their body.
Addressing the inhibitions that women are not eligible to donate blood.
Parents’ ignorance and inhibition towards donation of blood by their wards.
The fear of parents that the students may fall sick after blood donation.
Underweight and malnourished students.

MBPG College, with its dedicated society named "APNA BLOOD BANK," takes great pride in promoting the cause of blood donation through its Blood Donation drives. This initiative involves the joint efforts of faculty members, non-teaching staff, students, and N.S.S. volunteers, all with the goal of ensuring safe blood for all.

To face the unforeseen situations, blood donation is a unique practice to be followed by any higher education to motivate the youth to save lives of those in need of blood.

The uniqueness of this college lies in the fact that, though majority of the students belong to the weaker sections of the society they are willing to participate voluntarily in the blood donation camps.

Our college participated blood donation camps in collaboration with hospitals and donor agencies regularly camps are held with the collaboration of AAPNA BLOOD BANK.

All stakeholders, inclusive of students & faculty of MBPG College, are committed to the vision of blood donation for saving lives. While blood donation is voluntary in the higher education department, some students remain unaware or unable to donate due to age, weight, or health limitations.
