JNE 11: In a significant gesture of public service and social responsibility, the Department of Legal Affairs, Ministry of Law and Justice, organized a blood donation camp at Shastri Bhawan, New Delhi, to mark World Blood Donor Day 2025. The event, held in collaboration with the Indian Red Cross Society, reflected the department’s commitment to contributing positively to society beyond its administrative and legal duties.
The blood donation camp witnessed active participation from officers, staff members, lady officers, and senior officials of the Department. Their enthusiastic involvement demonstrated a collective spirit of compassion and a strong sense of civic duty. The camp aimed to raise awareness about the importance of voluntary blood donation, particularly in saving countless lives and supporting healthcare services across the nation.
Law Secretary Dr. Anju Rathi Rana, who was present at the event, appreciated the staff’s wholehearted participation and encouraged everyone to continue supporting such humanitarian causes. She emphasized that voluntary blood donation is not only a noble act but also an essential component of a resilient healthcare system. Dr. Rana highlighted that every unit of donated blood can make a vital difference, especially for patients in need of surgeries, accident victims, and those battling life-threatening diseases.
This year’s World Blood Donor Day carries the global theme: “Give Blood, Give Hope: Together We Save Lives.” The theme underscores the life-saving potential of regular and unpaid blood donations, while also recognizing the selfless individuals who contribute to strengthening healthcare systems worldwide. The event at Shastri Bhawan sought to spread this message widely, encouraging more citizens to become regular blood donors.
Representatives from the Indian Red Cross Society managed the camp, ensuring that all safety protocols and medical guidelines were strictly followed during the collection process. They also provided donors with vital information on the health benefits of regular blood donation, while assuring participants of its safety and ease.
The Department of Legal Affairs regularly engages in various public welfare activities, and this blood donation drive serves as another example of its broader commitment to the community. Through such initiatives, the department not only fosters a sense of responsibility among its staff but also sets a positive example for other government bodies and institutions.
The event concluded with words of appreciation for all donors and a renewed pledge to continue supporting such meaningful social causes in the future.
