The initiative was the culmination of a week-long public awareness campaign conducted by NCC cadets across Tezpur town. During the campaign, cadets interacted with members of the public at prominent locations, distributed awareness material and educated citizens about the importance of voluntary blood donation in saving lives and strengthening Assam’s healthcare system.

Speaking on the occasion, the organisers highlighted that the demand for blood remains constant throughout the year to support accident victims, patients undergoing major surgeries, mothers requiring emergency obstetric care, children suffering from thalassaemia, cancer patients and numerous other medical emergencies. They emphasised that voluntary blood donation is one of the simplest yet most meaningful ways for citizens to contribute to society.

The Commanding Officer of the 5 Assam Battalion NCC complimented the cadets for their dedication in taking the awareness campaign to the streets of Tezpur and for motivating the community to participate in this noble cause. He also expressed gratitude to Tezpur Medical College & Hospital, Tezpur College, the NCC Unit of the college, volunteers and every individual who came forward to donate blood.
