IITians do a bloody good deed at Mood Indigo

Mumbai: Students queued up in large numbers outside Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-B) on Thursday for a blood donation camp as part of the institute’s cultural festival Mood Indigo, which will be held from December 20 to 23.

The festival’s stamp this year is “RETRO: Reborn to Rock’’. Ishank Gupta, core group member of the festival, said, “Through the blood donation campaign, called Khoon Chala, we want to tell the world that the youth is capable of rocking and reaching out to the country. On day one, we had over 450 IITians donating blood.’’

IIT-B has partnered with the state blood transfusion council, Doctors for You and Rotaract District 3140, which will conduct the camp. Donation will be open for IIT students and staff for a week beginning Thursday.
