Andhra Loyola College in Vijayawada collected 76 units of blood at a donation camp organised by its NSS units with the Indian Red Cross Society’s NTR District Chapter. The camp took place at the college’s Multi-Purpose Hall on Thursday, on the eve of the Feast of St Ignatius of Loyola.

Students, faculty members, non-teaching staff and volunteers took part. College officials thanked the donors, NSS volunteers and Red Cross medical team. NSS programme officers coordinated the event, according to The Hans India.
Blood donation drives are useful when they are well-organised and linked to verified collection and storage systems. The easy claim that one campus event can solve local shortages would be overstated, but dismissing such efforts as ceremonial would also be unfair. The useful measure is clear: how many of the 76 units reach patients through the Red Cross network, and how quickly?
