Mangaluru : The Youth Red Cross Society Unit of Mangala College of Allied Health Sciences, in collaboration with the NSS and NCC units, successfully organized a voluntary blood donation camp at the college campus on April 7, 2026. The event was held in association with the Mangala Blood Centre (Storage Centre), Mangaluru. Dr. J.N.
