Bhadrachalam: ITDA PO, staff donate blood

Bhadrachalam: The Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA), Bhadrachalam has organised a blood donation camp on the office premises on Friday where all unit officers and staff participated in the camp and donated blood.

The programme was launched by Agency Project Officer VP Goutham. Speaking on the occasion, Goutham said due to shortage of blood in blood banks, the tribal people were facing problems during emergencies.

As the tribals cannot afford blood from the blood banks, the blood donated through camps comes handy to them, he said. Stating that they were conducting such camps once in every three months, the Project Officer urged the people and the staff to take part in camps besides encouraging others to donate blood.

Later, he also donated blood. Certificates were presented to all the blood donors on the day.
