Last year, Noorjahan Khatun, a bride-to-be from West Bengal set up a blood donation camp for her wedding celebration. She also set up an initiative to distribute books.

Khatun, who is a teacher by profession, said that she did this because some blood banks were running dry due to the pandemic. “I had heard that blood banks are running dry amid the COVID-19 crisis. This was my small effort to help people during medical emergencies” she said. Read more on that here.
