The Government of Assam organised State-wide blood donation camps across all districts, as part of the Seva Saptah– a weeklong programme of socially significant activities from September 17 to September 25, 2025, coinciding with the 75th birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Health & Family Welfare Department of the State in collaboration with the Assam State Blood Transfusion Council took the initiative in conducting the 75 numbers of blood donation camps, which witnessed enthusiastic participation from people across all walks of life.
Senior Government officials, staff members, representatives of civil society organisations, and members of the general public voluntarily came forward to donate blood in large numbers. The initiative, leading to collection of 3,167 units of blood, reflects the collective spirit of service and responsibility towards society, while also strengthening the healthcare preparedness of the State. By mobilising voluntary blood donation on such a wide scale, Assam has demonstrated its commitment to the ethos of “seva” (service) to mankind.
The weeklong Seva Saptah will continue with more activities of public welfare and social importance in the coming days. Today, mega health camps for children at all Legislative Assembly Constituencies are scheduled to be organized. 30-lakh plus saplings will be planted across 20,000 educational institutions of the State in addition to cities, towns and villages. On September 21, young writers will be felicitated with `25,000 each. On September 22, Ni-kshay Mitra assistance will be provided to tuberculosis patients. September 23 will witness distribution of land pattas to religious institutions and the Seva Saptah will conclude on September 25 with the launch of Orunodoi 3.0, a flagship DBT scheme of the Government of Assam.
