SUPRIYA BOHRA
ASE, AUR
9th April, AUR:Amity University Rajasthan, in association with Inner Wheel Club, Jaipur organised a blood donation camp here in the campus today. The donation began at around 10:30am and continued till 3pm wherein around 180 students from all the departments along with the faculty members donated their blood for the noble cause.
The camp was inaugurated by Prof. (Dr.)Raj Singh, Hon'ble Vice-Chancellor AUR. In his words, “I donated blood for the first time and it feels really great! I would like to urge the youth as well to come forward for this cause".About the club, Inner Wheel Club (main) has been an active participant in various efforts like the upliftment of the underprivileged, women empowerment, water supply in rural areas, family welfare plans etc not only in Jaipur, but even in areas of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. Tanuja Agarwal, president, IWC said, “The youth should come forward to be a part of such social activities as they are not only the healthiest population but also the future of any nation”. She further added,” All the social services one can think of, donating blood is the greatest social activity”.
There was a large turn up for the donation, and some were indeed sad when they couldn't donate due to some medical reasons. Nevertheless, this is what the proud donors had to say about the donation and the camp:"I'm donating Blood for the 1st time in my life. Feeling very proud that I am helping someone through this great program", Rohan Singh, Faculty ASCO
"Apart from teaching, the curriculum, it is very important for the faculty to inculcate such qualities and emotions in students that will connect them with the students. The moment you donate blood, you suddenly feel connected to the masses at large. I' feel great that I could be a part of this endeavour" Rakesh Premi, Program Co-ordinater, ABS."This has definately been the best thing of my life! Feels great that I did something for others!" Vineet Agarwal, B.Tech ECE
"Couldn’t be happier than this. wow!!! My efforts can actually be a life saver for someone..." Prathishtha, B. Tech CS

It was indeed a wonderful initiative taken by Rashmi Premi and Rakesh Premi on behalf of AUR to bring this camp into the university and raise awareness amongst the students about the importance of blood donation. I urge all the students to please come forward to donate blood...because you don't lose anything by doing so, but an ounce of yours could save someone's life....
