The camp was organized by the college’s Blood Donation Society in collaboration with NSS and Nostalgia—the Alumni Association—with generous support from the Sukh Foundation. The initiative witnessed an encouraging response, with 91 registrations, out of which 47 students, faculty, and non-teaching staff successfully donated blood.
