Blood donation is highest service to humanity: Tripura CM Manik Saha
Agartala, August 1
Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Saturday attended a blood donation camp organised by Egiye Chalo Sangha in the state capital and praised the organisers and voluntary blood donors for their humanitarian initiative.
Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister described blood donation as one of the highest forms of service to humanity. He encouraged more people, especially the youth, to donate blood regularly and contribute to building a healthier, more compassionate society.
Highlighting the significance of blood donation, Dr. Saha said that blood knows no religion, caste, or community. "A Hindu can receive the blood of a Muslim, and a Muslim can receive the blood of a Hindu. Blood does not discriminate on the basis of caste or religion," he said, stressing that humanity should always remain above social divisions.
The Chief Minister thanked Egiye Chalo Sangha for organising the blood donation camp and called upon other clubs and social organisations across the state to come forward and organise similar humanitarian initiatives. He also urged the youth to actively participate in blood donation drives and stay away from addiction, encouraging them to channel their energy into positive social service.
The event witnessed the participation of voluntary blood donors, club members, and local residents, reinforcing the message of unity, compassion, and service to society through voluntary blood donation.

"Blood knows no religion, caste, or community"—this is the kind of message India needs today. Beautifully said by the Chief Minister. We're all humans first. 👏 Great initiative by Egiye Chalo Sangha too for organizing this camp in Agartala. More such drives should be held in every town and village.
Respect to CM Saha for personally attending the camp. It's easy to give speeches from office, but being physically present shows real commitment. Also appreciated his advice to youth to stay away from addiction—that's a critical issue in the northeast. We need more active, healthy young people.
Always glad to see leaders promoting such universal humanitarian causes. The message about blood not being bound by religion or caste is powerful anywhere in the world, but especially relevant in India's diverse society. Kudos to the volunteers who stepped up to donate—they're the real heroes.
Beautiful initiative! I wish more politicians would use their platform for such positive messages instead of divisive ones. One suggestion though—the government should also ensure blood banks are well-equipped and accessible in all districts, so that donors' efforts truly reach those in need. Just a thought. 🤔
Jai hind! 🙌 This is exactly what seva bhaav means. As a regular donor from Mumbai, I can confirm that donating blood is a deeply fulfilling experience. CM sahab is right—blood connects us all beyond any man-made divisions. Let's all pledge to donate at least twice a year!
