The blood donation camp was inaugurated by ADC Nowshera, Dr. Pritam Lal Thapa, Zonal Incharge of Sant Nirankari Mission, BP Singh, and other members of Sant Nirankari Mission. On this occasion, ADC Nowshera Dr. Pritam Lal Thapa, praised the Sant Nirankari Mission and said that the Sant Nirankari Mission is working for the welfare of humanity. The most important thing was the enthusiasm among the people who came to donate blood, who came forward happily. One unit of blood donation can save the lives of two to three people, and Sant Nirankari Mission is doing a great job in this. Speaking on this occasion, Zonal Incharge of Sant Nirankari Mission, BP Singh, said that Sant Nirankari Mission has been organizing blood donation camps throughout India for the last 40 years. So far, the Mission has collected 15,00,230 units of blood through 9174 blood donation camps, which is a living testimony to the Nirankari Mission's unwavering commitment to serving humanity. These camps are organised in the sacred memory of Nirankari Baba Gurbachan Singh Ji, who sacrificed his life for the welfare of humanity on 24th April 1980. In continuation of this tradition, this year too, on 24th April 2026, blood donation camps were successfully organised at around 200 places, through which around 40,000 units of blood were collected and selflessly dedicated to the service of humanity through government hospitals. Taking this spirit of social service forward, a massive blood donation camp was organised on Sunday, 31st May 2026 at Sant Nirankari Satsang Bhawan Chowki Handan, where experienced doctors and their team from Government Hospital Rajouri and Medical College, Jammu, after thorough screening of the donors, conducted the blood donation process in a safe, systematic and effective manner, and 160 units were dedicated to the service of humanity. During the entire event, special attention was paid to cleanliness, honesty and service spirit. The blood donation camp was organised with the cooperation of all the members of Nowshera, Nariya, Mawa, Lam, Jhangad, Chowki and Branch. This initiative of Sant Nirankari Mission was not limited to life-giving service but emerged as a symbol of the highest ideals of humanity, compassion and responsibility. While the pioneer of the era, Baba Gurbachan Singh Ji, showed the path of truth, simplicity and goodwill and inspired the youth to adopt a drug-free life and use their energy in social service, Baba Hardev Singh Ji made service an essential part of life by giving the message of "Blood is in the veins, not in the drains". And today, the present Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj is taking this spirit of service forward. On this occasion, Nirankari devotees, by giving life to the spirit of "Manav ko manav ho pyaar, ek duje ka bane sahara", gave the message of making the society drug-free and moving forward to use their energy for the welfare of humanity. At the end of the program, Chowki Branch Mukhi Govind Lal thanked the team of doctors, blood donors, zonal incharges, heads of all branches and all others.
