Symbiosis celebrated International Students Day on July 31, 2014, with multiple social and cultural events including a blood donation camp. The camp was arranged simultaneously by Symbiosis Centre of Health Care (SCHC) at seven campuses of Symbiosis in Pune and three campuses at Noida, Nashik and Bangalore, in association with seven blood banks.
The campaign to maximise the turnout for the blood donation camp was done by MBA (Hospital & Healthcare Management) students of Symbiosis Institute of Health Sciences under the supervision of healthcare professionals of SCHC. The universal slogan delivered by the campaigning students was, “Give mankind the greatest gift. Donate blood when blood bank comes to your place.”
Awareness was created amongst the staff and student community, through motivation campaigns comprising presentation, skits and street plays enacted by the MBA students on all campuses. Additionally posters, banners were erected to create awareness for the camp. A special motivation film made by Symbiosis Studios was shown to students at various campuses. The camp was successful in collecting 1400 units of blood.
