Organized under the theme 'Let's be lifesavers', the blood donation camp aims at reaching out to the sick and needy, irrespective of caste and creed. "Strengthening of human bond across communities is essential to develop a harmonious atmosphere in the country. Serving the downtrodden in the society lets us know the reality of life and to understand the purpose of human existence", the organizers stated in a press release.
Highlighting the importance of co-existence on the occasion of independence, the organizers stated, "The people who brought independence to this country wanted us to safeguard the values of non-violence, civility and democracy. Unfortunately, we have failed in our duty. Consequently, we are in the imminent danger of being consumed by the inferno of violence and conflict. All our traditions, which made the world respect us, would be consumed by the fire of hatred and violence. Our traditions, the reason for our honour and pride will be gone". They also warned about how whole societies have been consumed by the fire of violence and intolerance.
The blood donation camp will be held from 9 am to 1 pm. For more information, one may contact the organizers at 9844703567, the press release stated.
