Voluntary Blood Donation Camp at National PU College, Barkur

A noble and inspiring Voluntary Blood Donation Camp was organized at the National PU College, Barkur on Monday, 6th October 2025, as a meaningful act of service and gratitude.

The event was held under the auspices of the Mogaveera Yuva Sangathane, Udupi, to mark the landmark 70th birthday celebration of Nadoja Dr. G. Shankar, the eminent philanthropist, visionary educationist, and compassionate benefactor well-known across Karnataka for his generous contributions to education, healthcare, and the welfare of the poor and marginalized.

In a fine gesture of solidarity and community spirit, 13 Geleyara Balaga, Spoorthi Sports & Cultural Club, Kurady, and many local associations and well-wishers from Barkur actively participated in the camp and voluntarily donated blood, setting an example of selfless service.

The Blood Bank Unit of Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, in collaboration with the Udupi District Administration, made excellent arrangements in the spacious National PU College Auditorium. A team of expert doctors, nurses, and medical staff ensured a smooth, safe, and hygienic process for all donors.

Students from National First Grade College, National Industrial & Technology Institute, Heradi, and other neighbouring institutions also came forward enthusiastically to join this life-saving mission. Their participation reflected youthful compassion and awareness of the importance of voluntary blood donation.

This humanitarian effort not only celebrated the benevolent legacy of Dr. G. Shankar but also spread a powerful message on the importance of giving back to society. The camp was a true reflection of unity, service, and social responsibility that enriches human life and strengthens the community spirit of Barkur and beyond.
