On the auspicious occasion of Guru Purab, a Blood Donation Camp was organized by Santosh Medical College and Hospital, Ghaziabad, in collaboration with Khalsa Help International at Gurudwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha. The event was held at the Gurudwara premises to encourage the spirit of seva (selfless service) and promote the importance of blood donation in saving lives.

The camp witnessed an overwhelming response from the community, with individuals participating in the initiative and motivating each other. People donated blood, contributing to a noble cause and ensuring a positive impact on the health and well-being of the community. The camp was a great success, reflecting the values of compassion and care taught by the Gurus. The following activities took place:
