All States and Union Territories have been requested to organise the campaign in local/regional languages. “It is planned to involve all ministries and departments of the government of India, State and Union governments, citizens of the country, especially the youth, various non-government and community-based organisations and other stakeholders,” the Health Ministry said.States have been requested to widely disseminate information about the drive to all medical colleges, hospitals, health care organisations, blood banks and other stakeholders for their active participation. Also a live dashboard will be operationalised on the e-RaktKosh web portal for tracking the State and U.T.-wise number of blood units donated/collected from September 17 to October 1. The facility for registration of national-level NGOs is also being made functional on e-RaktKosh web portal so that they can upload and track data regarding the blood donation camps to be organised/committed by them.
