Rotarian Mr. Ajay Chauhan- Trustee, Ritnand Balved Education Foundation (RBEF), said “About 60% of the population is eligible to donate blood, however only a small fraction of less than 5% volunteer for this cause. The Rotary Club, since its inception, has formed a community service, of generous, strong and dexterous people bound by a single motive of selfless service. It has been regularly organizing blood donation camps in different schools and colleges to bridge the ever widening gap between demand and supply of blood.” He lauded the efforts of Amity students who have come forward to donate blood thereby creating awareness in their companions also.
