Mega Blood Donation Camp in Memory of Late Anita Das | Photo Gallery

On 1st October 2026, the birth anniversary of the late actress Anita Das, a mega blood donation camp was held at Red Cross Bhawan, Madhusudan Nagar, Unit 4, Bhubaneswar. The camp also marked National Voluntary Blood Donation Day. It was jointly organised by UDRA Odisha Charitable Trust, Bhubaneswar Queens Ladies Circle 130, the Red Cross and the Commissionerate Police.

The day began with a floral tribute to Anita Das, followed by a video show on her life and achievements. Guest speakers shared words of praise for her legacy. Volunteers registered donors at the desk, and medical staff checked each donor before blood was collected. More than 300 donors came forward to give blood.

Odia actor and politician Akash Das Nayak and Subhrajyoti Das Nayak of UDRA Odisha, one of the organisers, were present along with actors Poonam Mishra, Debashish Patra and Bobby Mishra, police officers, esteemed guests and many young donors. Donors were honoured with a plant and a certificate of appreciation, and the organisers presented a certificate to police personnel for their participation, coordination and cooperation.

A single blood donation can help up to three people, including patients with liver disease and thalassemia and those requiring dialysis. The camp was described as the best way to honour the memory of Anita Das.
