The Eco-Social Club of SiliconTech, the engineering institute of Silicon University, collaborated with Capital Hospital, Bhubaneswar to organize a Blood Donation Camp on 28 September 2026 at the University campus. The initiative was aimed at encouraging voluntary blood donation, promoting social responsibility, and creating awareness among students, faculty members, and staff about the importance of blood donation and its role in saving lives.
The objective of the camp was to motivate members of the University community to participate in a humanitarian cause, foster a spirit of social responsibility and community service, and spread awareness about the significance of voluntary blood donation. The initiative also provided students, faculty members, and staff with an opportunity to contribute directly to the well-being of society.
The camp was inaugurated by Dr. Ramaprasad Panda, Dean (Student Affairs), Silicon University, in the presence of Eco-Social Club faculty members, student members, Capital Hospital personnel, and University staff. A total of 254 participants registered online and 56 registered on the spot, while 197 individuals were present for donation. Of these, 175 students and 8 faculty and staff members successfully donated blood. The camp was supported by 33 student volunteers and 12 personnel from Capital Hospital.
The Blood Donation Camp successfully provided the University community with an opportunity to contribute to a meaningful humanitarian cause. Although some students who were present could not donate due to medical reasons, the enthusiastic participation reflected the growing spirit of social responsibility among the students, faculty, and staff. The initiative reaffirmed Silicon University’s commitment to community engagement and encouraged its members to contribute towards saving lives through voluntary blood donation.
