Jamshedpur: A large-scale blood donation camp was organised at the Burmamines Club House to mark the birth anniversaries of Jharkhand founder Shibu Soren, popularly known as Dishom Guru, and former MP and martyr Sunil Mahato.
The camp was held under the leadership of Mahavir Murmu and witnessed enthusiastic participation from local residents, party workers, and social activists. Speakers on the occasion recalled the struggles and public contributions of both leaders, describing them as lifelong champions of social justice and mass movements in Jharkhand.
Addressing the gathering, speakers emphasised that blood donation represents the highest form of humanity and social responsibility. They urged healthy citizens to come forward and make voluntary blood donation a regular practice to help save lives.
Mahavir Murmu said that Dishom Guru Shibu Soren had led historic movements against exploitative practices such as moneylending, usury, and social evils, adding that the state government continues to follow the ideals and path laid down by him. He noted that organising a blood donation camp on his birth anniversary has become an annual tradition, aimed at promoting social service and humanitarian values.
“Blood donation is the greatest service to mankind. A single donation can save multiple lives, and regular blood donation also benefits the donor’s health,” Murmu said, calling upon people to adopt the practice as part of everyday life.
A total of 281 units of blood were collected during the camp. Blood donors were felicitated with certificates and gifts in recognition of their selfless contribution.
Several prominent leaders and public representatives attended the event, including Sabita Mahato, Samir Mohanty, Mangal Kalindi, former MP Suman Mahato, former MLAs Kunal Sarangi and Laxman Tudu, District Council Chairperson Bari Murmu, Vice Chairperson Pankaj Sinha, Gau Seva Aayog Vice Chairperson Raju Giri, CPI district secretary Ambuj Kumar Thakur, and leaders of Tata Workers’ Union, including President Sanjeev Chaudhary and General Secretary R. K. Singh.
Organisers said such initiatives strengthen community bonding while promoting humanitarian values inspired by the lives and ideals of Shibu Soren and Sunil Mahato.
