Blood Donation Awareness Campaign


On 14th August'08, Ehsaas- The introspection organized a blood donation awareness campaign at Zensar Technologies.
A graffiti contest was also organized where the participants were requested to write down slogans and thought on blood donation.
The awareness campaign aimed at making people realize about the actual requirement of blood in India. India requires around
8 million units of blood every year of which only 5.5 million is collected through voluntary blood donation. The campaign saw an
active participation from Zensar associates and ZCBI'ans.
The awareness campaign was an extension of the efforts taken by some ZCBI-EABS students to solve the problem of shortage of blood.
The students have also launched an initiative http://www.lifeunits.com through which they aim to motivate more and more people to come forward to donate blood.The team plans to organize a blood donation camp at Zensar in the near future.
