Before 18 ^th century no one might have ever imagined that blood of one man can be transported to the other man’s body. The history of blood donation relates to the bloody World War-1 when the research began about preservation and transporting blood. Today, when world is growing technologically, scientifically and environmentally, somewhere blood became a basic and most important necessity to save human lives. In India the requirement of blood is 4 crore unit every year but only 40 lakh unit of blood is available; another shocking fact is, in every 2 seconds someone needs blood in India.( source) Blood Donation is a noblest work someone can do.
