Twenty voluntary blood donors and organisations closely working for spreading awareness on blood donation were honoured during the programme.

Secretary of The Club 25 International Manipur, K Karnajit was presented the Health Minister's Shield award in recognition of the club's contribution of 235 units of blood from 235 blood donors in a single day.

The observance programme was graced by Vice Chancellor of Manipur University, Prof HNK Sharma; Project Director of MACS, Dr Sailesh Kumar Chaurasia and Director of RIMS, Prof S Sekharjit as the chief guest, president and guest of honour respectively.

Speaking at the occasion, Head Professor of IHBT, RIMS Dr A Meinya Singh said the State's needs approximately 27,000 units of blood annually.

However, only around 21,000 units of blood are collected through Blood Banks at JNIMS, RIMS and Shija Blood Banks.

Strengthening of the State Blood Transfusion Council, inclusion of blood donation awareness in secondary school syllabus, creating political and media advocacy are the points suggested by Dr A Meinya in order to increase blood donation in the State.
