YRC & NSS

Service beyond the campus: the Youth Red Cross runs a blood donors’ club and health camps, and NSS volunteers take on clean-ups, runs, tree planting and awareness drives.

Youth Red Cross

Giving blood, and care

The Red Cross is an international humanitarian organisation — non-religious, non-political and non-sectarian. The Youth Red Cross, part of the Indian Red Cross Society, was inaugurated at PMC Tech in 2008.

The Blood Donors’ Club

Donating blood is the unit’s first aim. Its Blood Donors’ Club groups donors’ blood and runs the donation camps — on average, 80 to 100 units of blood are given every month.
