A blood donation camp was organized today, 22 December 2025, at the Vivekananda Auditorium of Sona Devi University, Ghatsila, in the sacred memory of Late Mother Smt. Sona Devi Ji. This mega blood donation camp successfully collected a total of 103 units of blood.
The Chancellor of Sona Devi University, Shri Prabhakar Singh, also donated blood himself and encouraged all participants. Many respected citizens from the Ghatsila region voluntarily participated in the camp. University officials, staff members, and a large number of students from Sona Devi University also actively donated blood.
On this occasion, Ms. Kumari Nikita, Assistant Professor, Department of Sanskrit, addressed common myths related to blood donation and raised awareness among the people. She motivated everyone to donate blood and explained that any healthy person, whether male or female, can donate blood.
