Donating blood is the most noble and selfless act, says Dinesh Gundu Rao
'Accidents often result in severe blood loss, and tragically, many lives are lost simply due to the unavailability of blood at the critical moment,' said Dinesh Gundu Rao, Minister for Health and Family Welfare, on Monday, June 16. Speaking at the inauguration of World Blood Donor Day 2025, organised at the Sheshadripuram College Auditorium, Mr. Rao emphasised the urgent need for public awareness and participation in blood donation drives. The event was a collaborative effort by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, State Blood Transfusion Council, Bengaluru Urban District AIDS Control Unit, BBMP, and several organisations including Lions Club, Indian Red Cross Society, Swami Vivekananda Foundation, Rotary TTK, and Belagavi Blood Bank. 'A single act of voluntary blood donation can save multiple lives,' Mr. Rao stated. 'Donating blood without expecting anything in return is one of the most noble and selfless act a person can perform. It not only helps those in dire need but also brings a deep sense of personal fulfillment,' he added.
