The Health Department is organizing the blood donation camp in Thyagaraj Stadium in New Delhi. The government has fixed the target of collecting 2,500 units of blood in this mega camp that would be conducted in a day.
According to the blood donation camp schedule of the Indian Red Cross Society, there is a blood donation camp at Thyagaraj Stadium on September 17 with an estimated 500 donors visiting the listed camp.
Blood banks from 11 government hospitals of Delhi and other organizations are taking part in the mega camp.
The blood donation programme is the opening-day activity of the Delhi government’s Seva Sankalp Abhiyan, which began on September 17. The month-long campaign includes several public-service initiatives, including health check-up camps for senior citizens, worker registration drives, cleanliness activities, plantation programmes and organ-donation awareness.
The government has also announced health check-ups for around 25,000 senior citizens across Delhi. Labour Department initiatives will focus on registering workers and construction workers and connecting eligible beneficiaries with welfare schemes and government services.
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and other government representatives have been associated with the programmes marking PM Modi’s birthday. Health Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh had also reviewed preparations for the blood donation drive, according to reports.
The government has appealed to people to participate in voluntary blood donation as part of the public-service campaign.
The September 17 programme extends beyond blood donation. The Delhi government is also organising a 108-kund yagya at Khatu Shyam Delhi Dham and launching the Namo Shramik Seva Kendra for workers. In the evening, the ‘Aashirwad Ka Diya’ programme will include the lighting of 1.25 lakh diyas at Kartavya Path.
