Those who donate blood are fully patriotic and they have immense love for human beings. “This power of the voluntary blood donors is a pride for the nation and we will have to utilize it,” they opined. At the function, over 150 people, who donated blood voluntarily for more than 25 times, were honoured with identity cards, crests and certificates.
