NEW DELHI, MAY 15, 2025: IN a heartfelt gesture of solidarity with India's defence forces and the larger cause of national service, Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh inaugurated a voluntary Blood donation Camp yesterday.

The Camp was organised by the Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) at North Block here, where over 150 employees donated blood.

Earlier, a similar Blood Donation Camp was launched by Dr Jitendra Singh on behalf of the Ministry of Science & Technology at Ambedkar International Centre.

Addressing the gathering at the Voluntary Blood Donation Camp organized by the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Government of India, in collaboration with the Indian Red Cross Society, Dr. Jitendra Singh underscored the Ministry's commitment to national welfare. He highlighted that this Ministry is among the first to launch such an initiative, focusing not only on the management of personnel but also on training, capacity building, and fostering a compassionate spirit among citizens.

Dr. Jitendra Singh personally interacted with the donors, applauding their selfless service and addressing common misconceptions surrounding blood donation, leveraging his medical expertise as a renowned endocrinologist.

The Minister also announced that similar blood donation camps will be organized across all departments and institutions under the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions in the coming weeks. These efforts aim to establish a robust and diverse national blood pool that can be mobilized swiftly during emergencies.

"This initiative echoes the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose resolve and commitment to national service we are proud to support through this small yet meaningful gesture," Dr. Singh added.

The Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions extends its heartfelt appreciation to the Indian Red Cross Society, all participating institutions, and every individual who contributed to this noble cause. This momentous day not only celebrates the spirit of Indian science but also reaffirms the Ministry's ongoing commitment to nation-building and national service.
