The event was attended by Ghanshyam Dholakia, founder and managing director of Hari Krishna Exports Pvt. Ltd., and prominent bankers and well-wishers. The company holds blood donation drives thrice a year and to date more than 10,108 units of blood have been collected from its Mumbai and Surat offices.
Speaking on the occasion, Dholakia said, “Blood is a colour of humanity and (donating blood) is one of the finest gestures one can make to save lives. The main objective behind this noble cause is to bridge the blood shortage gap and empower humanitarian responsibility of saving lives. I am thankful to the donors who donated blood today for such a generous act.’’
The blood donors were presented with a token of appreciation, a gym bag, certificates and books along with their donor cards.
