Humanity At Its Topmost Pedestal

A group of benevolent people proved to be good samaritans by participating in a blood donation camp organized in the STES Vadgaon campus. The camp was organized by ‘Kshitij’, the official social service group of Sinhgad College of Engineering, Pune, under the able guidance of Professor Dr. Mrs. Veena Doss. A whooping number of about a hundred turned up to donate the ‘royal elixir’ at the Sinhgad Dental College Seminar Hall. After a brief inauguration function by the chief guests of the function, the camp opened its doors for donors between 9.30 am to 2 pm. It immediately experienced a huge sea of humanity, in the guise of enthusiastic donors wanting to give their humble yet prominent share in saving a life. It is so well said - 'You need not be a doctor to save lives; donate blood, grant a needy his fair share of life!' About 23 volunteers of ‘Kshitij’ and 10 doctors reportedly present had taken the onus of the camp. The blood collected will be forwarded to Shrimati Kashibai Navale General Hospital, Narhe. The donors were thoroughly checked before donating blood, and the healthy ones were allowed to donate. Later, they were given refreshments to help them regain their strength.

‘Kshitij’ , with the co-operation of SKN General Hospital, has done a great job in organizing such events that promote a social message. The oomph and benevolence that they have put in their work is worth many accolades!
