The donor students seen here are just 18 years old. They are donating whole blood for the first time in their lives. An early indoctrination to this service helps us create life-time blood donors. 

Most of these children are also enrolled with the Indian National Cadet Corps, which is the nursery for future officers of the Indian Army, Indian Navy and Indian Air Force !
