Today technological advancement, modernization and sophistication in blood banking sector alone could neither improve the quality of blood, nor could recruit healthy voluntary blood donors to maintain the service. It has been universally accepted that no blood transfusion service can ensure quality of blood without non-remunerated voluntary altruistic blood donors. Health planners and health authorities of this country have invested much time and money for donor counselling after the prospective donors reach the blood collection site, but have never thought of how the common people will be inducted at the camp site to donate blood voluntarily through due process of effective motivation. Nearly 4231 blood banks of India presently collect about 1,10,00,000 units of blood annually against an estimated annual requirement of 1,46,00,000 units out of which the voluntary collection is not more than 70%. This figure includes relative donations as voluntary donation. If these are segregated, the real voluntary collection from blood donation camp may not be even more than 50% which speaks of the basic area where improvement is yet very much needed. India is far behind the target of achieving total voluntary blood programme as announced by the World Health Organisation. Recruitment of genuine voluntary blood donors, which is an art based on science, is therefore, a demanding task. Various states and union territories are using various techniques to recruit donors as well as follow various standards of donor recruitment and have attained different levels of achievement. There is need to rationalise all these techniques and standards by exchanging ideas, sharing knowledge amongst the donor recruiting organisations, health authorities, blood bankers and technical experts in the field to develop strategies to make India self-sufficient with and self-dependent on total voluntary non-remunerated altruistic blood donors to ensure safe blood transfusion. Federation of Voluntary Blood Donors Organisations West Bengal will therefore, organise a National Summit of Motivators on Safe Blood Transfusion with International participation on January 23, 24 and 25, 2025 at Digha, Purba Medinipur, West Bengal for the furtherance of the blood donation movement and improvement in the blood transfusion service through sharing pooled knowledge of experts in the field from various states. Digha is a seaside resort town of West Bengal and is a beautiful place of attraction to the tourists. This National Summit is also dedicated to the memory of Sri Arunabha Chattopadhyay and Sri Debabrata Ray, the two legendary stalwarts of blood donation movement in West Bengal.
