JCI Panaji Hosts Successful Blood Donation Camp in Pernem


JCI Panaji, in association with Sarthak Foundation and supported by Sant Sohirobanath Ambiye Government College and Research Centre, successfully organised a Blood Donation Camp on February 13, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the college premises in Virnoda–Pernem, Goa.

The camp was conducted with the objective of promoting voluntary blood donation and creating awareness about the life-saving importance of donating blood. The initiative witnessed enthusiastic participation from students, faculty members, JCI members and local residents, all of whom came forward to contribute selflessly to the noble cause.

The event was further supported by Kidzee Pernem, whose encouragement added value to the initiative and strengthened community engagement. Strict medical protocols and safety measures were observed throughout the camp to ensure a smooth and secure donation process. Experienced medical professionals were present on-site to guide donors, conduct health screenings and ensure that each participant felt comfortable and cared for during the procedure.

The drive not only helped collect valuable units of blood for those in need but also served as a platform to instill a deeper sense of social responsibility among the youth. The strong turnout reflected the growing awareness about voluntary blood donation and the willingness of the community to actively participate in humanitarian initiatives.

The project was led under the dynamic leadership of JFM Srushti Nagvekar, President; JC Sudesh Salgaonkar, Secretary; and JC Vinay Gawas, Project Director, whose coordinated efforts ensured the smooth execution of the camp. Their leadership and teamwork played a pivotal role in mobilising volunteers, coordinating logistics and encouraging maximum participation.

JCI Panaji extended heartfelt gratitude to all donors, supporters, volunteers and partnering organisations for their valuable contribution. Through such impactful initiatives, the organisation continues to uphold its commitment to community development, humanitarian service and building a healthier, more compassionate society.
