Though the year that we have left behind was indeed eventful and purposeful, we are meeting here in the 40th Annual General Meeting at a time when the world is experiencing the impact of Covid-19 Pandemic. This Annual Report allows us to report back on the activities of the Association over the year 2019-2020 to highlight the progress in attaining the organisation’s targeted outcomes and to frame our plans for the future. We had another highly successful year in continuing our effort to fortify the healthy voluntary blood donation movement in the State of West Bengal. We made significant progress on all the outcomes set for the year except in the last part of the last quarter of the reporting year when our activities had eventually slowed down a little bit due to the consequence of Covid-19 Pandemic like all other sectors in the country and the world. On behalf of the Association of Voluntary Blood Donors, West Bengal and myself permit me to greet you all to this 40th Annual General Meeting of this hundred percent voluntary organisation. Starting from zero in 1980, it has been possible for us to elevate the status and image of the Association as a leading and pioneer organisation in the country in the field of motivation, recruitment and retention of voluntary blood donors through our dedication, devotion, determination and hard work at the grass root level for the last four decades. The Association has earned admiration from home and abroad for its Mission of total voluntary blood programme, Philosophy of total voluntarism, Technology of Education based blood donor motivation and Strategy of taking Blood Centre’s beds to the donors instead of expecting the donors to come to the Blood Centres. As Swami Vivekananda once said, “We need three things : The heart to feel, the brain to conceive and the hand to work”, the Association has had taken up the said idea and has been able to induct many a kind-hearted volunteers from different walks of life in its service to the nation and could blend their knowledge, skill, expertise and wisdom mingled with their love and compassion for the mankind to achieve its cherished goal. Annual Report 2019-2020 During the period under review, we have lost some of our members, friends and well wishers namely Chandan Mukherjee, Nandan Bhattacharjee, Sujay Basu, Manab Nath Sadhu, Samar Kumar Sengupta, Prasanta Kumar Nandi and Prasanta Sanyal. May their souls rest in peace. The Association during last four decades has engineered and followed the four-pillars- principle of blood donor recruitment namely ‘Education - Motivation - Blood Donation - Recognition’. All its methodologies and techniques are founded on those four pillars. Now let me place before you the Annual Report of activities of the Association for the period 2019-2020. The Annual Report of the Association for the year 2019-2020 has already been printed for circulation amongst you. 1. EDUCATION Since its inception in 1980, the Association has preferred to establish its entire blood donor recruitment programme on education based methods rather than customary means of publicity, propaganda, enticement, stunt and gimmick followed in many parts of our country and the globe. The following educational programmes were conducted during the period under report: 1.1 School Education Programme for donors of tomorrow This programme titled ‘Science of Blood and Blood Donation’ formulated and introduced in the year 1980 for fostering school students of 13 plus age group (generally Class IX and X) about the need and harmlessness of voluntary blood donation was conducted in 58 schools during the period under report by trained blood donor motivators of the Association in the class room situation for one or two school period(s) as per suitability of the Schools. At the end of the programme, take home materials were distributed among the students. The details of this year’s programmes are available in the Annexure to the Annual Report. The prospective Volunteer Teachers for such programme are inducted through structured workshops and provided with Teachers’ Guide Books (English or Bengali as the case may be) and other reading materials. This unique programme, only of its kind in the world, has been assigned a tag of best long-term technique of recruiting donors of tomorrow and earned appreciation from home and abroad. 1.2 University and College Level Certificate Course on ‘Social Service – Blood Donor Motivation’ for Universities and Colleges of the State of West Bengal This programme was introduced in the year 1981 in collaboration with the Adult and Continuing Education Centre of Jadavpur University. The programme was initially designed for 15 hours offered in five days @ 3 hours per day on Saturdays and Sundays. Gradually due to increasing demand, the programme was expanded to almost all other 2 Association of Voluntary Blood Donors, West Bengal Annual Report 2019-2020 Universities of the state and their many affiliated Colleges and is being conducted jointly with either the Adult and Continuing Education Centre or the National Service Scheme of the Universities/Colleges concerned. At present the programme is offered in 12 hours (12 theoretical lectures) either in consecutive three days @ four hours a day or consecutive four days @ three hours a day depending on the administrative balance of convenience of the University/College concerned. The programme is followed by project and field work and end-on evaluation (written examination, viva-voce, project evaluation etc.). Successful trainees are awarded with certificates jointly signed by the University/College and the Association. The object of such programme is to build up an army of trained voluntary blood donor motivators in the Universities and Colleges who in turn can motivate common people of their locality to donate blood voluntarily. The course is offered by the members of faculty of the Association who are duly trained for the programme through various workshops. The course curriculum has undergone many revisions from time to time based on experience and to suit the need of the hour. During the period under report four such programmes were undertaken. The details have been shown in the Annexure to the Annual Report. 1.3 District Level Certificate Course on ‘Social Service – Blood Donor Motivation and Recruitment’ for the districts and sub-divisions of West Bengal This is one of the AVBDWB's unique educational programmes initiated in the year 1987 on experimental basis which gradually took up its full-fledged structured shape in the year 1992. The programme is being offered through the district or sub-division level local host organisations to train up their members, volunteers, associates and local people in the art of blood donor motivation so as to equip them to act as honorary blood donor motivators in their districts and sub-divisions to motivate, recruit and retain voluntary blood donors in their localities and thus to create a blood donor base in the society. At present the programme is offered in three consecutive days for 9 hours (9 theoretical lectures) followed by field and project work and end-on evaluation (written test and project evaluation). Successful trainees are awarded with certificates singed by the Association. During the period under report 21 such programmes were offered in 21 Centres covering 14 Districts of the State. Out of 638 trainees who completed the course 428 were found successful based on the end-on evaluation of the trainees conducted on August 25, 2019 and the results were published on September 30, 2019. The details of the programme along with names of award winning trainees have been Annexed to the Report. 1.4 Diploma Course on ‘Social Service – Blood Donor Motivation and Science of Blood’ This programme was conceptualised and introduced in the year 1990 as Master Motivator training programme and is offered at Kolkata only. The duration of the programme is six months which includes theoretical classes for three months (Saturdays Association of Voluntary Blood Donors, West Bengal 3 Annual Report 2019-2020 and Sundays only) followed by project and field works and final evaluation.

  • The Domestic Is Not Free, Nov 2—10, Spotlighting the Ways Women Have Created, Challenged, and Subverted Domesticity
    BAM presents Women at Work: The Domestic Is Not Free, Nov 2—10, spotlighting the ways women have created, challenged, and subverted domesticity October 9, 2018/Brooklyn, NY—From Friday, November 2 through Saturday, November 10 BAM presents Women at Work: The Domestic Is Not Free, a wide-ranging series spotlighting the overlooked work women take on in the home as house-workers, caretakers, and familial partners. The Domestic Is Not Free is the third edition of the ongoing Women at Work series—following Women at Work: Labor Activism in March and Women at Work: Radical Creativity in August—and highlights the historically erased and undervalued physical and emotional labor women perform, often invisibly, every day. The series considers the myriad ways in which women around the world have challenged and subverted traditional associations between gender and domesticity. Exploring the intersections of labor, race, class, and social environment, these films embody human stories of sacrifice and endurance. BAM Cinema Department Coordinator and programmer of the series Natalie Erazo explains, “I learned early on to value the domestic space and appreciate the women around me who shaped it. I hope this series will encourage viewers to acknowledge the monotony and emotional bearing of a life often relegated to being behind the scenes.” The series opens with Ousmane Sembène’s seminal Black Girl (1966—Nov 2). Screening with short films Fannie’s Film (Woods, 1979) and Fucked Like a Star (Saintonge, 2018), these films depict black women in roles of domestic service while also giving audiences access to their inner thoughts, feelings, and struggles.

Email: [email protected] Abstract Blood safety is a major issue all over the world in transfusion medicine. For this, donor selection is necessary in addition to the screenings of blood bags for infectious diseases. Deferrals lead to loss of precious blood/ components available for transfusion. For preventing this, we should be having knowledge of causes of deferral and their frequency. In this study, causes of donor deferral were evaluated retrospectively from January 2014 to December 2016 in the blood bank of Peoples college of medical sciences and research centre Bhopal (India). In this study temporary deferral was more common than permanent deferral. Most common cause in permanent deferral was HBsAg positivity. Causes among temporary deferral were anaemia (Hb<12.5 gm%), alcohol in last 72 hr, weight <45 kg, age <18 years, patients on antibiotic, previous donation in last 3 month, typhoid in last 1 year, dog bite etc. Key Words: Deferral, Blood donation, Donor. *Address for Correspondence: Dr. Reetesh Kumar Gujar, Assistant Professor, Department of Pathology, People’s Medical College and Research Centre Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, INDIA.

  • Point-Of-Care Blood Tests: Do Indian Villagers Have Cultural Objections?
    OPINION published: 06 November 2018 doi: 10.3389/fchem.2018.00505 Point-of-Care Blood Tests: Do Indian Villagers Have Cultural Objections? Marika Vicziany* and Jaideep Hardikar Faculty of Arts, National Centre for South Asian Studies, Monash Asia Institute, Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia Keywords: point-of-care blood testing, rural health in India, cultural obstacles, infrastructure obstacles, cost obstacles, benefits, needs of villagers The key research question for this paper is whether Indian villagers would be resistant to the introduction of new technologies that could test blood in the villages where they reside, rather than at hospitals or clinics as is now the case. We have selected the subject of blood testing because screening and diagnosis of blood is relevant to many conditions that form part of India’s disease burden—for example, anemia1, hepatitis and malaria. Point-of-care testing would involve collecting blood in minute quantities, namely via a few pinpricks, and testing it on site using simple methods that could be managed by people with low levels of literacy. The technology would provide a readout of the test results within minutes of the blood being applied to the testing medium. The collection of blood and the tests could be conducted in front of patients in their own homes and the blood would not require refrigeration, storage or transportation to urban hospitals or laboratories. In this paper we consider the possible obstacles to and benefits of point-of-care testing in Indian villages by examining the controversy surrounding rapid testing for TB in India. We then go on to discuss two possible kinds of obstacles that have been raised in discussions with colleagues in Australia and India, namely cultural perceptions of blood, and secondly the adequacy of village level health infrastructure2.
