PUJYA Gahira Guru Raktadata Sangh organised a blood donation camp at Vanyogi Balasaheb Hall of Kalyan Ashram office in Jashpur Nagar on August 9. Noted civil surgeon of District Hospital Dr NC Nande was the chief guest. He said blood should be donated only by a healthy person.

Dr Nande appreciated the initiative of Dr Pankaj Bhatia who started the project with the support of local people and Dr Vinod Prakash of IDRF. Kalyan Ashram is working for the children with vitamin deficiency with the active support of Dr Vinod Prakash, IDRF USA.
