Vaishvik Sanskruti Parivar successfully completes All India Blood Donation Drive in more than 25 cities simultaneously in India

Vaishvik Sanskruti Parivar successfully completed the All India Blood Donation Drive organised in 25 cities as a part of the 50th year celebrations of Pujya Bhaishri Rameshbhai Oza.

For the first time ever in India, 25 cities simultaneously conducted blood donation drives on one day, 3rd June, 2007 and collected a total of 4,052 units of blood!

This multi city Blood Donation Drive in India was organised to fulfill shortage faced by Blood Banks in the months of May and June due to colleges being closed and harsh weather conditions during the summer months. Despite the extreme heat it is very humbling to share that so many people came and donated blood.

All the members of Vaishvik Sanskruti Parivar worked very hard to make this drive successful. Publicity through local newspapers, Sanskar channel, posters, pamphlets and banners was done tremendously to create awareness amongst people and motivate them to come and donate blood.

As of now a total of 4757 units of blood has been collected during the Svarna Jayanti celebrations which began last year. We intend to cross 5100 units of blood before 31st August, Pujya Bhaishri’s Svarna Jayanti.
