1. Blood Donation & Platelet Donation Awareness Drive held on Friday 13th February 2026 @ BCAS.
On Friday, 13th February 2026, the BCAS Foundation, jointly with the Seminar, Membership & Public Relations Committee of BCAS, held the annual “Blood Donation Drive”, enlisting the support of Tata Memorial Hospital (TMH).

Doctors and technicians from TMH screened 63 potential donors using a detailed questionnaire they completed. 54 units of blood were collected from eligible donors, including the former president, the Hon. Joint Secretary, the Convenors of the SMPR committee, and BCAS members and staff.
To raise awareness and dispel myths about platelet donation, a “Platelet Donation Awareness Drive” was also held, with donors providing a blood sample for a platelet donation eligibility check.
In recognition of their invaluable contribution, each blood donor was presented with a “Life Saver” medal. NSS volunteers from H R College of Commerce & Economics and Dharma Bharathi Mission canvassed around the area to spread awareness of the drive and encourage interested parties to come and get their eligibility confirmed for donating blood to the noble cause.
