Mumbai, Oct 7 (NationPress) The BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha and its global partners consistently organize blood donation campaigns at their centers around the world, collaborating with local blood banks and healthcare facilities.

In its latest humanitarian initiatives, the Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) recently held blood donation drives in various cities, including Mumbai, Nashik, and Pune.

Motivated by the teachings of Mahant Swami Maharaj, thousands of volunteers and devotees joined this honorable effort. The blood donation drive achieved remarkable participation, leading to an unprecedented collection.

BAPS estimates indicate that a total of 1,147,600 cc of blood was collected — a record-breaking accomplishment symbolizing a commitment to saving lives.

Renowned actor Dilip Joshi, famously known as ‘Jethalal’ from ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’, also took part in the blood donation event in Mumbai.

BAPS routinely organizes blood donation camps nationwide.

Each year, over 55,000 BAPS volunteers contribute more than 15 million hours of service, with significant involvement from female volunteers.

Two years ago, during the centenary celebration of Pramukh Swami Maharaj in Ahmedabad, 5.9 million cc of blood was gathered in just 30 days, exemplifying a world-class commitment to service.

BAPS has a longstanding history of altruistic service, responding to both natural disasters and human-made crises. From earthquake relief and drought aid to train accident support and humanitarian efforts during the Ukraine–Russia war, BAPS has consistently demonstrated courage, compassion, and disciplined service to society.

Apart from social initiatives, BAPS excels in medical services.

Through BAPS Charities, millions access free healthcare annually. Mobile clinics and diagnostic camps deliver medical services to rural, tribal, and urban areas.

Recently, two new medical vans were launched from the Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple in Gujarat, increasing the total number of active mobile medical clinics to 14. These vans play a crucial role in providing primary care, specialist consultations, and emergency services to remote communities.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, BAPS distributed oxygen concentrators, masks, and rapid medical support to protect lives. Volunteer doctors also provided free consultations and mental health services, offering relief to numerous families.
