Maharaja Agrasen Sevadal and Agarwal Vaishya Samaj Organise Blood Donation Camp on Agrasen Jayanti

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.
