Blood Donation Drive

at Sathaye College, Vileparle

In tie-up with Nirankari Blood Bank,
the Blood Donation Drive was
inaugurated by Principal of Sathaye
College Professor Rajwade. Amidst
rain, strict protocol about covid
recovery period and post vaccine
restriction on blood donation (the
nationwide frenzy amongst 18-44 age
group to get vaccinated means most
are non-eligible for donation right
now!) made todays Blood Donation
Drive a real challenge and yet it is a
critically essential social activity
which was conducted successfully.

Dry Snack to Poor Children

Packaged dry snacks and sweets distributed
to children of Chhatrapati Shivaji Shikshan
Sansthan in Vakola Santacruz. It was a heart-
warming experience for the team as 80
youngsters had bright smiles spread on their
faces - the last week of school vacation was
made brighter!
