A. Title:

1. Identification of blood group of institute stakeholders

B. Objectives:

1. To enhance blood awareness among young new generation.

2. The Blood donation camp is organize on the “occasion of science Day on 28 Feb.
3. Students from rural area, shows more interest in donation as compare to urban students, even their economics is not much more

D. Evidence of Success:

1. Number of students and stakeholders are enthusiastically participated in the activity of blood group identification the student also participate in wall poster presentation to provide values of blood donation and about Corona virus.

And Mr. Kharate P.K. achieve the certificate of blood group in the entire present of students in the class B.Sc. FY The head of physical education. Felicitate the certificate and prize.
3. The Students and stakeholder get information about the blood. Such as, when blood in the body cell is normal with sickle like size, then the student with sickle cell anemia in the body. Because of sickle cell. The students become and wakeel welling of joints, body with yellow color, pains in the body.
