Ranchi:A grand felicitation ceremony was organized today at the Ranchi Press Club by the “Lahoo Bolega” Blood Donation Organization, Ranchi, to honor retired Indian Army Captain and dedicated humanitarian blood donor Captain Dr. Suresh Kumar Saini (world record holder for donating blood 252 times), Hon’ble Judge of the Jamshedpur District Consumer Commission Mrs. Arpana Mishra (26-time blood donor), and IAS officer Mr. Utkarsh Kumar, who is also devoted to humanitarian service.
The program was presided over by Blood Warrior Nadeem Khan, Founder of “Lahoo Bolega.” The event began with the warm welcome and felicitation of the guests, where thalassemia-affected children and their family members greeted the dignitaries with bouquets and traditional Jharkhandi shawls.
Addressing the gathering, the Chief Guest, Hon’ble Vice Chairman of the Jharkhand State Minority Commission, Mr. Jyoti Singh Matharu, said,
“There is no religion greater than blood donation. A person who donates blood not only saves lives but also serves humanity. Organizations like ‘Lahoo Bolega’ are setting exemplary standards of compassion and social responsibility.”
Honored guest Captain Dr. Suresh Kumar Saini, in his address, stated,
“Whatever service I have rendered in my life has been dedicated to humanity. Blood donation is a supreme form of donation, and every healthy individual should donate blood regularly. Even today, millions of patients suffer due to blood shortages, and society must step forward to address this issue.”
Hon’ble Judge of the Jamshedpur District Consumer Commission, Mrs. Arpana Mishra, shared her views saying,
“Blood donation is not just a social responsibility; it reflects the sensitivity of a responsible citizen. For children suffering from thalassemia and sickle cell disease, regular blood donation is a lifeline.”
