To mark Maharaja Agrasen Jayanti, the Maharaja Agrasen Sevadal and the Sirsa unit of the Agarwal Vaishya Samaj jointly organised their 14th annual blood donation camp at the Maharaja Agrasen Girls Senior Secondary School in Sirsa. A total of 97 donors, including 12 women, took part.
The organisations hold a blood donation camp every year on the occasion of Maharaja Agrasen Jayanti. The aim, organisers said, is to ensure blood is available for patients in need and to raise awareness about blood donation in the community.
“One Unit Can Save Many Lives”
Sunny Bansal of the Maharaja Agrasen Sevadal described blood donation as a noble act that can save the life of a person in need. He said a single unit of blood can prove life-saving for several patients.
Drawing Competition Winners Honoured
The Agarwal Vaishya Samaj also honoured all participants of a drawing competition it had organised as part of the celebrations.
Why It Matters: Women Donors and a Lasting Tradition
Blood banks often face shortages, especially of regular, voluntary donors. Annual community camps like this one help build a dependable donor base. The participation of 12 women is also notable, as women remain under-represented among blood donors in India, and community encouragement helps more of them come forward.
