Milagres College Kallianpur, in association with KMC hospital, Manipal, conducted a mega blood donation camp for faculty and students on May 28, 2024, on the Milagres College Kallianpur premises.

Dr. Shami Shastry, the Director of Blood Centre, KMC hospital Manipal, said that hospitals today are not able to meet the blood needs of needy patients as there are few donors volunteering for blood donation. She exhorted the student community to make it a passion to donate blood periodically. She was speaking to the student community after inaugurating the blood donation program.

There will be enormous industries to produce a variety of products, but none can produce a drop of blood other than a human body," said Dr. Vincent Alva, addressing the students. At times, finding blood for our own kith and kin is a task, he added, emphasizing the importance of making blood donation a routine habit.

148 donors volunteered for blood donation, out of which 92 students and faculty were qualified to donate blood.

The HDFC Bank Udupi, Lions Club Kallianpur, Rotary Club Udupi, NSS, Youth Red Cross, Rangers and Rovers, Alumni Association of Milagres College joined hands with the program.

Dr. Jayaram Shettigar, the IQAC coordinator of the college, Mr. Shekar Gujjarbettu, President of Alumni Association, Mr. Sathish Salian and Mrs. Anupama Jogi, and Mr. Ganesh Nayak, the NSS officers, were present.
