Daspalla: (Reported by Ratnakar Hota) Blood donation is one of the most generous acts a person can do, as it helps save lives. Unfortunately, there is often a shortage of blood when it’s needed the most, especially in Odisha, where patients suffering from anemia, pregnant women, the elderly, those with sickle cell disease, people fighting severe illnesses, and victims of unexpected accidents frequently require blood.
To address this critical need, Daspalla Police Station in Nayagarh district organized a special blood donation camp on Thursday. The event took place within the police station premises under the guidance of Inspector-in-Charge Mukesh Behera. It saw enthusiastic participation from people across the region, all coming together to help those in need.
Nayagarh's Superintendent of Police (SP), Rahul Jain, was the chief guest at the event. He not only inaugurated the camp but also opened a new Senior Citizen Assistance Centre, which aims to support the elderly in the community. He encouraged everyone present to donate blood and explained how such a simple act could save lives.
The blood donation camp was a great success, with over 128 units of blood collected. The event saw participation from various groups, including local youths, members of the Drivers' Association, students from different schools and colleges, and police station staff. Volunteers from several organizations also took part, all donating blood voluntarily.

Adding a touch of excitement to the event, popular cine star Sabyasachi Mishra, well-known musician Prem Anand, and singer Saurav Bharadwaj attended the camp. They interacted with the donors and senior citizens, motivating them and appreciating their efforts to contribute to such a noble cause.
The camp was smoothly managed by the members of the police committee and the police station staff, who ensured everything was well organized. The staff from Nayagarh Blood Bank was present to collect the blood and ensure it was safely stored for future use.
This initiative not only helped to collect much-needed blood but also brought the community together for a common cause. The newly inaugurated Senior Citizen Assistance Centre is expected to provide vital support to the elderly in the area, ensuring they have a place to turn to in times of need.
Such events highlight the importance of community service and the role each of us can play in helping others. Whether it's donating blood, offering support to the elderly, or simply spreading awareness, every small act counts. The success of the Daspalla Police Station's blood donation camp is a testament to the power of collective effort and the impact it can have on society.
