AGARTALA: In a powerful display of social responsibility, the Tripura Rajya Karmachari Sangha (TRKS) celebrated its 11th Foundation Day today with a mega voluntary blood donation camp. The event was held at the Dental Nursing College within the IGM Hospital premises, drawing a large number of government employees and health workers who stepped forward to contribute to the state’s blood reserves.
The camp was inaugurated by the Chief Guest, Mayor and MLA Dipak Majumder, who lauded the employees’ union for choosing a life-saving cause to mark their organizational milestone.
A Milestone of Service
The Tripura Rajya Karmachari Sangha, which has grown significantly over the last decade, decided to forgo traditional celebrations in favor of a humanitarian drive to address the ongoing demand for blood in Agartala’s major referral hospitals.
Dignitaries in Attendance:
- Shri Dipak Majumder: Mayor of Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC) and MLA.
- Shri Tushar Kanti Bhattacharya: Hon’ble Corporator, AMC.
- Shri Partha Pal: President, Tripura Rajya Karmachari Sangha.
- Shri Abhijit Biswas: Secretary, Tripura Rajya Karmachari Sangha.
- Several senior members and departmental representatives of the union.
Mayor’s Address: “Employees are the Backbone of Society”
Addressing the gathering, Mayor Dipak Majumder emphasized that government employees play a dual role—both as administrative pillars and as socially conscious citizens.
”On this 11th Foundation Day, the Tripura Rajya Karmachari Sangha has set a noble example. Donating blood is the highest form of service, as it knows no religion, caste, or political boundary. Our government employees are the backbone of the state’s administration, and today they have proven that they are equally committed to the health and well-being of the common people. I congratulate the leadership of TRKS for this successful initiative,” the Mayor stated.
Addressing the Blood Supply Balance
TRKS President Partha Pal and Secretary Abhijit Biswas noted that the union wanted to ensure that the foundation day left a lasting impact on the community. They highlighted that such mega camps are essential to maintain the “demand-supply equilibrium” in the state blood bank, especially during the transition into the summer months when donor turnout can sometimes dip.
Highlights of the Camp:
- Large Participation: Dozens of units of blood were collected by the evening, with a significant number of first-time donors among the younger nursing students and staff.
- Certificate Distribution: All donors were provided with appreciation certificates and light refreshments following their contribution.
- Union Solidarity: Members from various government departments joined the camp, reinforcing the unity of the state’s workforce.
Community Impact
The IGM Hospital authorities expressed their gratitude to the Sangha, noting that the collected units would be vital for emergency surgeries and thalassaemia patients. The event concluded with a brief commemorative session where the leaders vowed to continue their “Jan Kalyan” (public welfare) activities alongside their professional advocacy.
