To make the students aware of the necessity of blood and to inculcate good human values Amity University organised blood donation camp in association with Rotary Club of Delhi City at Amity University Campus, Sector-125 Noida. The blood donation camp witnessed overwhelming donation of blood by Amity University students and faculties. The purpose of the camp was noble and it was a great success.
