On a daily basis the city of Bangalore requires a minimum of 700 units of Blood but it tends to fall short by 200 units.

Reacting to a report in the local newspapers on the shortage of blood, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA), an auxiliary of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat’s Bangalore Chapter organized a successful Blood Donation Drive in association with the Lion’s Club (Sheshadripuram Branch) on the grand occasion of India’s 65th Republic Day Celebrations, Sunday the 26th January.

Keeping in mind the golden Islamic teaching of service to humanity, the AMYA under the leadership of their local youth leader, Ashraf Khan, immediately took up the task of organizing the blood drive at the Ahmadiyya Masjid at Wilson Garden, to help reduce the shortage.

Banners and Posters were put up in and around Wilson Garden and Flyers were distributed by hand and newspapers, inviting the general public to donate blood.


The Drive was flagged off by several leaders of the community including, Barkat Ahmad Saleem, Moulvi Wasim Khan, and Moulvi. Kaleem Khan.

The Drive received a positive response and people from all walks of life turned up to donate blood. Some 60 units of blood were collected mostly from the Ahmadiyya youths, elders, ladies, and some outsiders.

Apart from the blood drive there was a free body and health check camp managed by several medical experts.
