We would like to draw your kind attention towards a very important issue of the country and seek support of your organization in this regard. You might be aware that in the past few years, India has seen an improvement in the blood collection (from 9.8 million units in 2012-12 to 11.45 million in 2017-18). Despite this, India stares at blood shortage of a whopping 1.95 million units per year. Several myths keep people from not coming forward to donate. During Corona period, situation even become more critical as due to social distancing and fear of infection very less number of donors are coming to donate blood which is resulting loss of many precious lives for need of blood. It is the duty of every person to promote awareness about blood donation and collective efforts in this direction can change the whole scenario and in the country the lack of blood donation can be overcome forever. With this thinking, the National Integrated Forum of Artists and Activists has compiled to run a nationwide blood donation drive with its culmination on the 90th martyrdom day of Shaheed E Azam Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev on 23 March, 2021.
