The programme was inaugurated by Yamunanagar MLA Ghanshyam Dass Arora and Market Committee Chairman Rakesh Tyagi, who lit the ceremonial lamp to mark the beginning of the event.
A large number of young volunteers donated blood during the camp, while hundreds of villagers benefited from free eye examinations conducted by specialist doctors. Medicines and spectacles were also distributed free of cost to patients requiring treatment.
Addressing the gathering, MLA Ghanshyam Dass Arora described blood donation as one of the greatest forms of social service.

He also appreciated Challenge Youth Club for organising the programme at the village level and bringing healthcare services closer to rural residents.
Presiding over the event, Market Committee Chairman Rakesh Tyagi praised the club’s efforts and said such camps play an important role in strengthening healthcare facilities in villages.
