Kolkata 15th Sep 2022: Akhil Bharatiya Terapanth Youth Council informed in a press conference to be held on September 14th at Kolkata Press Club that a mega blood donation drive has been organized on September 17th.

Mega Blood Donation Drive (MBDD) project is a sub-wing of Akhil Bhartiya Terapanth Yuvak Parishad (ABTYP) that pledges to serve the country through community services. The Mega Blood Donation Drive exists to make Indian blood sufficient. Our country is currently deficient in about 2 million blood units. The ongoing pandemic and the vaccination have blown this deficiency to further lower levels. With their continuous efforts, they were able to get featured in the prestigious Guinness World Records (2014) to organize the highest Blood Donation at multiple locations and collect 100212 blood units in a single day. They continue to build a community of volunteers and ambassadors who work day in and day out to ensure that blood is available in every corner of India to anyone in need.

The dedicated members of ABTYP pledge to service humankind, share the passion for community service, and, conserve the environment.

About 2000 camps in the country and more than 200 camps will be organized in different parts of Bengal. Joint Secretary Anant Bagrecha, actress Koel Mallick, RJ Praveen, Sunil Durgar, Amitabh Dashani, and others were present at this meeting. It is also informed by the organization that in the blood donation camp of 2014 they got the Guinness Book of World Records for collecting 1 lakh 2 hundred and twelve units of blood. And this year they aim to collect around 2 lakh units of blood. This is their effort to meet the blood demand across the country post covid and to know more about this information can be gathered from their website MBDD.in.
