Chandigarh 11^th August:- Doon Public School, Panchkula has organized a Blood Donation Camp at its premises in Sec 21. The Camp was held by the School as a step towards fulfilling its social responsibility and also to mark 'Rakshabandhan'. The blood camp was conducted by the Medical team from Blood Bank Society, General Hospital, Sec 6, Panchkula, under the supervision of Dr. Seema Ghai. 60 Units of  Blood was collected. The donors were awarded with souvenirs and certificates to acknowledge their contribution.

According to Capt Sanjay Anand, SM, Principal, Doon Public School, Panchkula, that Rakshabandhan is a festival in which brothers vow to protect their sisters' from any harm, we thought that organizing a blood donation camp would be an apt way of giving the message to citizens to protect lives of their fellow Indians who need blood, by becoming voluntary blood donors because there is no other source of its supply. As there is a major shortage of blood in different hospitals of the region, the School management has taken a conscious decision to contribute in whatever way it can, to meet the ever increasing demand for blood by patients. This is why a blood donation camp was organised in the school.

Mrs.Sunita Anand, Vice Principal, Doon Public School, Panchkula, said that the camp was also a tribute to our brave freedom fighters, just short of Independence day and to the heroes of Kargil, as Vijay Diwas was observed recently.
