Lt (Dr) Kamal Deep Kaur, Associate NCC Officer of the college and coordinator of the camp, also addressed the volunteers and said, “Blood cannot be manufactured - it only comes from generous donors to save the society and mankind, we should come forward for this Noble cause. 123 units of blood were donated by the NCC Volunteers of GCW Udhampur and GDC Udhampur along with the staff members of both the colleges.
India faces a blood shortage of 3 million units. The problem can be addressed if an additional two percent of Indians donate blood, as opened by the Health experts. We need 12 million units of blood every year but just about nine million units are being donated. The 2 J&K Girls Bn, NCC has been religiously organizing blood donation camps every year and students and the faculty members come forward voluntarily to donate blood. While addressing first time donors at the camp, the blood bank staff brought awareness in them about shortage of blood and why we must donate blood every year, to help the persons requiring blood. Blood donation can save lives of innumerable persons. Donation of blood is very critical and crucial for saving lives many patients and those who have met with accidents. It is as such a great service or contribution to the society and people living in it.
