On the
occasion of PoilaBoishakh, the Bengali New Year, the NCC
cadets of
West Bengal & Sikkim Directorate donated blood as social responsibility to
meet the requirements of Govt Hospitals. The event organised at the NCC
Clubhouse on Outram’s Road, Maidan saw an overwhelming and enthusiastic
participation from more than 500 students of various Colleges in Kolkata,
Hoogly, Howrah, 24 Parganas (N) & (S). Besides the NCC
cadets,
there were volunteer blood donors from the Army School faculty as well as civil
society. The Rotary Club Kolkata, Centurion and the Blood Transfusion Unit,
Command Hospital Kolkata joined hands to make the event a success.
Support
staff from Command Hospital of Eastern Comd, Rotary club and NCC worked
tirelessly to ensure a smooth process, conducting health screenings, providing
refreshments and offering support to donors throughout the event. The
collaboration between NCC and civil volunteer organisation exemplifies the power of collective action in
addressing crucial social issues including healthcare challenges, particularly
the constant demand for blood donations to support medical emergencies and
treatments. Such initiatives not only bolsters the city's blood banks but also
fosters a sense of community engagement and social responsibility among its
citizens. The success of this collaborative effort underscores the importance
of the youth groups in addressing healthcare gaps and promoting a culture of
giving back to society.
