On the occasion of Republic Day, NSS-IITR has organized yet another successful
Voluntary Blood Donation Camp
The participants which included not only students from the campus but the professors of various departments ,showed their patriotic fervour and humanistic feelings. The camp was conducted by two blood banks namely The Govt. Blood Bank and The Himalayan Blood Bank of Dehradun.
The camp saw a total donor strength of 272 units of blood which is less than the number in the previous camp organized in September, but this can be called a successful one as it has attracted these many participants just after 4 months of gap from previous camp. Even though the cold weather was not helping for the cause, people immensely dedicated for the cause.This weekend being a bit longer one has been affected in participation as students tend to go to their home towns for a break.
The event was inaugurated by the Director of IIT Roorkee, Prof. S.C.Saxena. The event was also graced by the presence of N.K.Goel, Dean of Students Welfare and Prof Kansal, the Dean of Mess and professors from various departments. The Director and the Dean also saw the video “Not for ME, but for the NATION” made to enlighten the humanistic spirit in people.

The other important event on this Republic Day was the Launch of Paper Bags in the IIT-R campus. This has been launched for making the IIT Roorkee
“Polythene Free Campus”
These paper bags are set to replace all the polythene usage in the campus as they will be in use by the fruit vendors, canteens and other common places in the campus and bigger shops in Civil Lines. As a pilot, the refreshments to the blood donors were served in paper bags only.
Cloth Distribution to the Construction Workers
The last but not the least, on this auspicious day only NSS distributed clothes to the Construction Workers working in the campus.The clothes were collected in the clothes donation drive among students conducted earlier by NSS.
