The students of XLRI Jamshedpur came together in the spirit of service and community at the Blood Donation Drive organised by Team SIGMA-oikos, in association with Brahmananda Narayana Multispeciality Hospital, Jamshedpur, on 14 October 2026.
The drive collected 103 units of blood, potentially saving over 300 lives, and witnessed a 25% increase in donors compared to 2024. Students across programmes participated alongside faculty, staff and their families, with several first-time donors stepping forward.
The event commenced with a lamp-lighting ceremony by Dr. (Fr.) Sebastian George, S.J., Dr. (Fr.) Donald D’Silva, S.J., Prof. Saurav Snehvrat, Prof. Chirag Dagar and Santosh Andrews, reflecting XLRI’s shared commitment to service and community well-being.
A regular feature of XLRI’s calendar, the initiative continues to create meaningful healthcare impact through sustained community participation and partnerships.
