Every year on 31st July on the occasion of our Founder Padma Bhushan Dr.S.B. Mujumdar’s Birthday, SCHC in co-ordination with Symbiosis Institute of Health Sciences organizes a Blood Donation Camp. The blood donation camp is organized every year at all the campuses of SYMBIOSIS INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY on this occasion. As a part of the tradition, this year the opportunity was given to us students of MBA- HHM batch 2013-2015 to participate and organize in this noble event to motivate the young men to donate blood.
After being briefed by the Symbiosis Centre of Health Care (SCHC), it was time for students to get started. Being the students of management, planning, organizing and coordinating were supposedly our driving values.
So we began with sharing an excel sheet to our colleagues, so that they could mark their participation as per their interest in fields of skit, poster making and presentations. After compiling the inputs, a short list was made containing the names of students participating in the fields they are interested. Posters were designed for promotion campaign which were to be displayed at the various Symbiosis campus in Pune, to spread awareness about “Give blood save life”. The Skit Committee performed a skit titled ‘Rakth Dan Maha Dan’ at Vishwabhavan in front of esteemed guests and faculty,to motivate the young generation to donate blood and save lives. The skit was also performed at all the seven Symbiosis campuses.
Volunteers had the main function to guide the volunteers for blood donation regarding their eligibility criteria, filling up the forms, any kind of positive medical history and medication taken in the near past and their fasting status. A database was maintained of all the donors. After the registration, the volunteers were directed towards the screening measures which were done by Doctors Appointed by the Respective Blood Banks.
In order to acknowledge each donor for their contribution, donors were distributed certificates provided by the respective blood banks. They were also provided with complimentary gifts.
Success:
Our batch managed to collect a record 2002 Blood Bags from all the campuses of Symbiosis University. The Dean himself sent an email by evening speaking of the success of Blood Donation Drive, and applauding all the members of Symbiosis fraternity in achieving this tally.
The feeling of being part of a noble cause, is always unbeatable. Blood Donation Drive was also a learning experience, as it answered many of our silly fears of being scared of the needle. It also helped us in clearing the various misconceptions involved in Blood Donation.
Many of our members also donated blood, and became part of the Elite Donor Club.
