In our mission to equip our students with not only professional skills but also a sense of societal responsibility, Jaipuria Institute was privileged to host a Thalassemia Awareness Session and Blood Donation Camp on our campus.
It was a day filled with learning, empathy, and most importantly, action. We were honored to have Mr. Madan Chawla, Founder & Director of GIFT, and Ms. Indu Ticku Kohli, Regional Engagement Lead, GIFT, grace our campus and enlighten our students and faculty about Thalassemia, its causes, implications, and preventive measures. Their words of wisdom, drawn from years of experience and research, significantly deepened our understanding of the disease.
The session was an important reminder of the role each one of us plays in health awareness. As future professionals and leaders, it is our students’ responsibility to carry this knowledge into the wider world, spreading awareness and encouraging preventive action.
Following the session was the Blood Donation Camp, which saw enthusiastic participation from our students, faculty, and staff. The sight of our Jaipuria family coming together for such a vital cause was truly heartening.
The blood donation camp not only offered an opportunity for donors to contribute to a lifesaving cause but also served to reinforce the message of the Thalassemia awareness session, adding a practical dimension to the theoretical knowledge gained.
We believe in the power of education to bring about positive change, and this event was a testament to that belief. Knowledge about diseases like Thalassemia is a powerful tool in their prevention and management, and the act of blood donation represents the tangible impact we can make in the lives of those affected.
This event was a significant step towards our commitment to fostering well-rounded professionals who are attuned to societal needs. We’re grateful to all our participants and the team of GIFT for making this event a success. As we continue our journey, we hope to keep facilitating such events that align with our philosophy of holistic education.
Let’s carry forward the momentum, keep spreading awareness, and bring about change, one step at a time.
