To remain ever active towards sharing social responsibility, Lovely Professional University organized a Two-Day Blood Donation Camp with the help of Rotary Blood Bank and Rotary Club (Saket), New Delhi, at Blocks No. 20 & 27 of the University. It was to streamline the bubbling enthusiasm of more than 2000 of donor-students and members of the staff who remained queued up to donate blood on both the days. A contingent of 25 Team Members comprising of doctors and technicians, under the guidance of Dr (Col.) SK Sharma, Dr SatyaJeet from RBB (Tughlakabad) and Mr Farook A Siddiqui, President, Rotary Club (Saket) of District-3010, New Delhi, had visited the campus in two Blood Mobile Vans, boldly painted with motivating slogans to streamline the donation work. The camp was organized in very safe and secure environment. In all, 1,100 units of blood were gathered; whereas, many of the donors remained awaiting for their turn towards this humane cause.

For this endeavour, great Rotarian Sudarshan Aggarwal, RBB, Chairman and former Governor, Uttaranchal & Sikkim has conveyed through his inspiring message: "This is the first opportunity for RBB, Delhi, to join hands with LPU on humanitarian grounds. The response of the University donors is indeed worth much applauds and appreciations." Thanking the blood donors on behalf of the blood-needy patients, he added: "We want that our association with University should continue for years to come so that a multitude of socially awakened human force may permeate everywhere in this world. In this regard, we have specially chosen this university as many thousands of its students belong to almost all the states and union territories of India as well as many foreign lands."

On this organization, the Director General of the University, Er HR Singla said: " To continue sharing social responsibility; a much needed community conscientiousness is regularly developed into very being of each and every university student and member of the staff. That is why such camps and many other related organizations have become prominent feature, at the university, along with academics." Appreciating the efforts of Rtn PC Bansil, senior member RC Saket, Rtn Tejinder singh and Rtn Siddiqui from Saket, he further added: "Their zeal to work for the society, leaving aside their all other necessary mundane affairs, have really boosted donors from University to come forward and set example for others to follow. In fact, donation is a contribution to help others. The gap in demand and supply of blood is regularly needed to be abridged."

A few of the volunteer donors said: "When one donates blood, one surely feels elated to give someone unknown the most precious gift of life. We understand fully that 'blood donors are life savers' and 'donating blood is a divine experience'."
