Meharchand Mehndiratta Charitable Trust will organise its 23rd Mega Blood Donation Camp along with a Free Mega Health Check-up Camp on August 2 to mark the 37th death anniversary of Late Mehr Chand Mehndiratta, which the trust observes as Paropkari Diwas (Day of Service). The event will be held at Meharchand Mehndiratta Charitable Dispensary and Library, Kirti Nagar, near Railway Underpass, beginning at 10 a.m.
Announcing the initiative, Trust President Pankaj Arora said blood donation is the highest form of humanitarian service and every individual has a moral responsibility to donate blood. He said if every healthy person donates blood at least once a year, the shortage of blood in hospitals can be significantly reduced, ensuring timely treatment for patients in need.
Arora said the trust has been actively serving society for the past 15 years, organising regular blood donation drives while also extending support to underprivileged families through ration distribution, educational assistance for children and healthcare initiatives. He said the organisation’s continued efforts have inspired several other social institutions to take up similar welfare activities.
He noted that this year’s blood donation camp is being organised with the objective of saving lives and promoting a culture of voluntary blood donation. Alongside the camp, BS Heart Care Hospital will conduct a free health check-up for members of the public, enabling people to assess their health while participating in the social service initiative.
Appealing to citizens to join the programme, Pankaj Arora said public participation would not only encourage voluntary blood donors but also strengthen the spirit of community service. He emphasised that every unit of donated blood has the potential to save multiple lives, making blood donation one of the most meaningful contributions a person can make to society.
Trust members Rajeev Arora, Rajendra Arora, Lata Rani and Kriti Arora also urged residents to participate in large numbers and support the humanitarian initiative. They said the event aims to spread awareness about the importance of regular blood donation while reinforcing the values of compassion, service and social responsibility.
The organisers expressed confidence that the annual camp would once again receive an overwhelming response from the public and contribute to meeting the growing demand for safe blood in healthcare institutions.
