130 units collected in Tripura

ICFAI University Tripura’s Allied Health Science department collected 130 units of blood at a voluntary campus drive in Agartala on April 10. (tripurachronicle.in) The university tied the camp to its World Health Day 2026 observance, three days after the global health day marked on April 7. Tripura Chronicle said Swami Amartya Nanda Maharaj of Ramakrishna Mission, Agartala, inaugurated the program as chief guest. (tripurachronicle.in) Indigenous Herald reported that 135 students, faculty members and staff took part in the donation effort at the university. A video posted by the university said the 130-unit total was collected in a single day.

India’s e-RaktKosh system says its blood-availability search is meant to help patients, donors and hospitals find registered blood-center stock in emergencies and planned care.

That makes one-day campus collections like this one a direct way to add usable stock to licensed blood centers. (cdsco.gov.in, eraktkosh.mohfw.gov.in) The event also followed this year’s World Health Day message from the World Health Organization: “Together for health. Stand with science.” The World Health Organization said the 2026 campaign highlights scientific collaboration to protect the health of people, animals, plants and the planet. (who.int) The World Health Organization’s 2026 materials linked health policy to climate and environmental change through a “One Health” approach, which treats human, animal and ecosystem health as connected. Regional messaging around the campaign also called for science-led action as health risks shift with climate and environmental pressures.
