ITANAGAR- Rajiv Gandhi University (RGU) organized a blood donation camp in observance of World Infant Day. The camp was hosted by the university’s NSS and NCC Cells in collaboration with Tomo Riba Institute of Health and Medical Sciences (TRIHMS). The event achieved its goal by collecting 100 units of blood with a strong turnout from students and community members.
Dr. Tage Monju Burman, NSS Programme Officer, reported that the camp had been prepared to store up to 100 units of blood, which was successfully met thanks to enthusiastic participation.
However, as additional volunteers continued to arrive, some were asked to return next year due to limited storage capacity.
