For A Humanitarian Cause


Students of Manav Rachna International University have got together to form an NGO 'RAKT-RATNAM'. Let's one day see a 100% blood insured INDIA say the team members.


The project 'RAKTRATNAM' started with a vision to serve humanity and hence carries the motto 'serve humanity, serve life'. It was on 4th of July 2012 when the founder president, AnshulMunjal at Apollo hospital was requested to donate blood by a stranger in the hospital. 10 units of blood was required for the cause, Munjal donated one unit and motivated his friends from Faridabad to save a life. Then and there the idea of a student initiative NGO came. After that it became a dream for Munjal and a couple of his close friends. There was an urge to make this dream come true. Thereafter, a committee of 12 members, all from the Manav Rachna International University was formed. The work started in full flow by the end of July 2012 and within a span of a month and a half this initiative was able to gather strength of around 900-1000 volunteers willing to donate blood allover NCR. Most of them were students of Manav Rachna. The response was very supportive and extremely motivating. The society then worked towards creating a databank of youngsters and others who would be ready to donate blood whenever required. As per current statistics, this initiative has saved more than 100lives and donated around 200 plus units of blood and platelets.In a recent incidenta Blood Cancer patient was provided with 38 units of blood and platelets by RAKT RATNAM. In future this society desires to increase their volunteer counts to lakhs and one day see a 100% blood insured INDIA.
