The blood donation camp was organized during March 4-5 at Pilani and a record 673 units of blood was collected. BITS Pilani not only has over 30% girls enrollment in higher education which itself is a record among comparable institutions in India and abroad but also in blood donation, the girls contributed a matching percentage of the units collected.

Celebrate the Red Cross Day by donning the goodwill cap and determine to break more blood donation records in the years to come.
