Donate Blood Save Life...

MADF (Make a difference Foundation), the social club of IMT Ghaziabad conducted a blood donation camp in collaboration with LIONS Club of New Delhi South at the IMT Campus on 16th October , 2008. I was responsible for operations of this event. This is for the first time in IMT I kept myself so active. It is not east yo mobilize people for this noble task but our team try their level best to pass the information to fellow students. Students and faculty participated in large numbers and the number of donors stood at 170.


Dr. B. S. Sahay, Director, IMT Ghaziabad and Mr. Anurag Anand, coordinator, LIONS Blood Bank inaugurated the event with Lighting the Lamp Ceremony. While inaugurating the camp, the director stressed the importance of mobilizing the youth towards the cause of blood donation and thereby serving the society.

“A Blood Donor saved my life” was the slogan used by the MADF to motivate the students to donate blood. The campaign involved a series of posters and banners which were put up all over the campus. We use presentations and audio video ads to create awareness; the most influential was the stunning street play highlighting the importance of blood donation.

Along with this blood donation camp we also put stall for the sale of SHASHAKT- Candle making project. This project is for women empowerment by making them eligible for pursue candle making as for their earning.


MADF (Make a difference foundation) is a forum run by the students of IMT Ghaziabad. The objective of the foundation as reflected in its name, is to make a positive difference to the society in general , through synergized and sustained efforts .
