Women Warriors Drive Prajyot – The weekly Blood Donation Program in Technopark

TechnoparkToday.com:  Often women are accused to be hesitant for blood donation. But all are not the same.  A team of five women working in different IT companies of Technopark is the backbone of Prajyot – the weekly blood donation camp by Tejus in association with IBS candle team.

PIT solutions employee Sajna Ali and Nimmy, Flytxt employee Revathy, Allianz employee Anu Abraham and Alamy Images employee Kavitha are the five-women team which is instrumental in helping Tejus to achieve its Vision 2020, a target to make RCC and SCT self sufficient in blood requirements by 2020.

The techies work towards shared responsibility in getting the donor list. The donors name, contact number, blood group, employer, and building are being captured and tracked in a spread sheet shared in Google drive, having restricted access.

Moreover they do conduct awareness campaigns to the fellow techies to increase the number of volunteer blood donation. The Prajyot trip is conducted once in a week thus achieving total of 30 donations per month. Once when the donors are available, the same is being intimated to IBS candle team from where they get cab service to RCC and back to Technopark.

Two days prior the blood donation, the guidelines to be followed is shared with the donors. Tejus helpdesk co-ordinates the donor to RCC with patient details on the day of blood donation.  Donors will be requested to share the suggestions and feedback after the camp, which will be considered for future trips.  Till date, Prajyot completed 25 trips to RCC supporting 150 donors.

‘The team expects more techies to come forward for this noble cause and support the cancer patients. “Though we have 50K employees in Technopark, it is difficult to get volunteers every week” – says one of the coordinators. Many times they keep 3 to 4 back up for each trip as donors may withdraw due to last minutes rush or unavoidable meetings.

The co-ordinators are driven by the passion, spreading the smiles and achieves happiness on taking up this responsibility. This has turned to be a success story of Tejus.
