Neeraj Raja Kochhar MUMBAI: Viraj Profiles Ltd. recently appealed to its employees to come forward and donate blood as the city needs it. A blood donation camp was organized on April 6th in collaboration with Palghar Police Department and Sir JJ Mahanagar Raktpedhi Blood Bank.
Neeraj Raja Kochhar, Chairman, and Managing Director, Viraj Profiles Ltd. shared, “We are helping blood banks and hospitals across the city to address the need of the local blood banks. He further added, close to 150 employees came forward along with their family members to donate blood. The donation camp was organized in two phases – as regular donors to fulfill the shortage of blood in the local blood bank and as special donors for those who are affected by Covid-19. During the camp, the officials took all the necessary precautions like social distancing, facemask and sanitizing the location, etc.”
Neeraj Kochhar congratulated all the blood donors for participating in this noble cause. He also added, “Blood is the most precious gift that anyone can give to another person — the gift of life. As a responsible corporate citizen, our endeavor is to support society in all possible manner. In the current COVID-19 situation it becomes all the more important that people come out and support this noble cause wholeheartedly. We appreciate our team members for being such supportive human beings and for taking part in this noble community work.” Voluntary blood donors are the cornerstone of a safe and adequate supply of blood and blood products. The safest blood donors are voluntary and non-remunerated blood donors.
The company has formed a core team of volunteers consisting of about 10 members plan these activities meticulously and execute them flawlessly by ensuring volunteers are available during the entire duration of the camp guiding employees, helping them be at ease during the process, etc. Over the past couple of years, volunteers of Viraj Profiles Ltd have been actively participating in the blood donation camp being organized in and around Boisar. Over the years the team has established a close relationship with most of the renowned blood banks in the city and in several cases have procured blood units in times of need with the help of our employees and their friends and family.
