Sesa Goa employees, business partners and students of Sesa Technical School formed part of the volunteers for the donation drive. The blood donation was undertaken as part of Sesa Goa’s Project ‘Aarogya’ and the ‘Raktadaan Abhiyaan’ initiative. Donation camps were organised at Amona, Sankhli and Bicholim, contributing ~150 unit of the ‘gift of life’. Undertaken under the Company’s CSR project ‘Aarogya’, the initiative reflects Sesa Goa’s commitment to community welfare through volunteerism.
