Blood Drive 2015 “Be a Superhero. Donate Blood”
Manipal :You need not be necessarily bitten by a spider or be exposed to radiation accidents to become a superhero. At Manipal University’s School of Communication (SOC), anyone who donated blood at the annual blood donation camp – Blood Drive 2015 – became a superhero. Held at SOC premises, in association with Department of Immunohematology and Blood Transfusion, Kasturba Medical College (KMC), Manipal, and Department of Public Health Dentistry, College of Dental Sciences (MCODS), Manipal, the drive saw a large turnout of over 400 people.
The event was inaugurated by the Chief Guest, Dr. K. Ramnarayan, Vice Chancellor of Manipal University and the Guest of Honour was Mr. K. Bijumani, Deputy General Manager of Syndicate Institute of Bank Management in the presence of Dr. Nandini Lakshmikantha, Director, School of Communication. “Communication is not just about words, it is also about deeds,” Dr. K. Ramnarayan said, emphasising on the role of media in contributing to the society.
The initiative was lauded by all the dignitaries, including Dr. Poornima Baliga, additional Dean of KMC and Dr.Sashidhar Acharya, HOD, Public Health Dentistry.
This year the otherwise sombre blood donation camp was transformed into a fun event as it brought with it a unique theme, that of a superhero. Students were surprised to walk into the blood donation venue replete with props supporting the theme. Posters of popular comic characters like Hulk, Batman, and Powerpuff Girls adorned the walls. Selfie addicts could indulge at the photo booth and with the event’s mascot, Rakth Kant, at the entrance. Post the blood donation, donors were given superhero tags that could be seen being flaunted on many. Appreciating the theme, P.R .Karanth, President, Rotary Club of Udupi-Manipal commented on the freshness in the treatment of the camp saying, “Blood donation is usually a serious event but the organisers have almost made it a festive affair.”
Free eye check-up and dental check-up was also organised along with the blood donation camp. The eye check-up camp was organised by London Optics NX. The event and the theme was organised and conceptualised by SOC Event Masters, final year students of M.A. Communication and PGDCC, led by Ms. Sowparnika Pavan, faculty coordinator and the entire staff of School of Communication. Supported by the Rotary Club of Udupi- Manipal and London Optics NX, Blood Drive 2015 was a huge success with a collection of nearly 200 pints of blood and over 400 registrations, a new record for the annual event.
