Blood scarcity is a common hindrance to the health system in our country and many lives could not be saved due to a shortage of blood units.

Abdul Jabbar, Principal of the College accompanying him were NSS Co-ordinator Professor Suleiman and other faculties.
The camp received an overwhelming response from the students as ample number of students came pouring in to be a part of the good cause of donating blood.
After a basic check up, the donors each donated 300 ml of blood to save someone’s life. The team of doctors and para-medical staff from Lions Blood Bank collected 113 units of blood.
