Doha, Qatar: In a heartfelt tribute to the 79th Independence Day of India, the AMU Alumni Association Qatar (AMUAAQ), an associate organisation of ICBF under the aegis of the Indian Embassy in Qatar, organised a blood donation camp in collaboration with the Qatar National Blood Donation Centre. 

The event was also supported by Toastmasters International and was held under the theme, “Give Blood, Give Hope: Together We Save Lives.”

The initiative brought together multiple organisations in the spirit of unity and service. The camp was organised with the active participation of Toastmasters Area 19 clubs – AMUAAQ, EXCEL, Royal, and UPAQ – and was generously supported by Integral Alumni, TWA, and the Singh Seva Group.

Indian Ambassador to Qatar H E Vipul, graced the occasion as the Chief Guest. Commending AMUAAQ for marking the Independence Day in such a noble way, he lauded the tradition of hosting a blood donation camp annually. “Blood donation reminds us that the colour of blood is the same for all, regardless of our religion or nationality,” the Ambassador said. He congratulated all the donors, emphasising the act as one of great social responsibility and unity in diversity.

The event’s Guest of Honour, Prof Shamim Ahmad (former principal, AMU Polytechnic), expressed pride in the community service being undertaken by the AMU alumni abroad. He encouraged everyone to continue such selfless acts for the betterment of society.
