A success story of KUYRCC.


We have been doing a lot of activities in and outside the university. Blood donation is one of those which is being conducted successfully with increasing numbers of donor every year.
KUYRCC organizes Blood Donation either on september or on october every year .It is usually conducted under the assistance of District Chapter and Central Office. According the Central Office it is the very period when the blood bank of kathmandu lacks sufficient amount of blood as most of the people move back to their hometown . Every pounds of blood donated at KU are taken to the central blood bank of Kathmandu. So this event has been contributing specially to the needy people of Kathmandu valley hugely. The amount of blood we deposit there is not sufficient however we have contributed to fulfill few proportion of demand and fulfilled our social responsibility.

Beside this, being a Youth Circle of Kathmandu University we are equally concerned and responsible towards the individuals of Kathmandu University. Every time we organize this event we keep the record of every blood donating individuals. Their blood group, contact number and address are recorded in our database .In case if anyone from the university requires blood and seeks for our help we look at our database and contact the donor available in the nearby area. This has been a lot of times and many individuals in and out of the university have directly been benefited through this network system initiated by KUYRCC.
Lastly thank you for all the donor without whose contribution this could never have been.

REPORT on BLOOD DONATION



Introduction

Realizing the importance of blood donation program in Kathmandu University, KUYRCC has been organizing blood donation program annually. This year, it was organized on September 29, 2013 (Sunday) marking the first on-field program of the newly formed executive committee. The program was organized in joint collaboration with AMES(Association of Mechanical Engineering Students),  SEEE(Society of Electrical and Electronics Engineering) of Kathmandu University and was supported by Student Welfare. The venue was set up on parking area beside KU Fast Food Cafe to ensure the consistent supply of foods and water during program.

Discussion

Basic preparations and planning for the program started from 8 am. At 11 am, the program was formally inaugurated by respected Prof. Dr. Bim Pd. Shrestha, Associate Dean of KU-SOE and  HOD of Mechanical Engineering, where he was the first donor himself. Although 31 volunteers were allocated for the conduction of program, 44 volunteers actively participated in the program as per their respective free time in order to manage massive crowd. Total 10 health workers were present in the program from central office of Nepal Red Cross Society. The program was furthermore aided by significantly large number of beds compared to the previous programs i.e. 14 beds. It became a wonderful success as total of 219 donors got an opportunity to take part in life saving campaign. The statistic is of importance for both, organizing committee and donors. The program was successfully adjourned at 4 pm.

BEING FUTURISTIC

May 10
Nivesh Dugar

Youth’s when think about themselves for the next 20-30 years then they think about luxury and how they want their personality to be then, but the question arises how to give a good shape to our future just the way we think???? It’s really a big question mark which has created a small space in our mind and during a casual discussion we just talk for it or against it but still the debate’s doesn’t end. In this age where the youth want everything to be very fast from foods to relationship so the youth’s of KU were taking advantage of this zattak opportunity to get a master’s views regarding the doubt’s with our future, career, personality development. 


Youth’s who are considered to be the building blocks, wealth and strength of a nation and the nation’s future lies in how it posterizes the quality of the youth. For posterizing the quality of the youth the nation needs to give a vision for each individual youth with small examples like seeing the an eagle flying high in the sky the wright brother’s wandered if they can fly then why can’t we fly??? And today due to their vision we have aeroplanes which make our travel easier to go from one place to other in the world. Vision always tends to be in broader sense where we really need to have a self belief in our self to accomplish our goal’s like when Barrack Hussein Obama said he wanted to be president of the united states of America when he was small then everyone thought he might be kidding and today a joke for everyone turned out a reality which Martin Luther King Jr. saw as a vision and he had a self belief in himself that some day it would a reality to see a black president in the white house and started a revolution in America for the Black’s equality to the white’s. Having a good broad vision with a good self belief in it then narrowing it down to a particular goal is always incomplete with action as the ones who “walk the talk” succeed in life.
 Gone are those days where slow and steady wins the race but in this era of the 21st century where fast thinking and steady walk’s wins the race so the youth’s should always have a plan for their goal but sometimes there comes a moment where you need to act instantly without hesitation , laziness or below confidence and always try to think differently because what you might be thinking is not necessarily that others won’t think the same but it’s up to those individual youth how they break the rules regarding the congested things which we think it has top priority but doesn’t see the daylight of our action’s has filled up our mind like apple is a common fruit which is liked by many but when it fell upon the head of Sir Isaac Newton he gave thought why did it fall in the ground rather than flying in the sky and today we know about gravitational constant which has made it possible for travel in the space and yet load’s of things are being talked about time machine and some day it would come into our lives fulfilling many great dreams!!!!! Once an idea of the youth click’s on then it not only strenthen’s the youth but also garner’s more positive vibes from other youths who tend to take it to the next level of more advancement. Advancement takes load’s of patience from the youth which is very time consuming and the planning of our time should be done in a manner where we should set our bigger priorities first then the smaller priorities. It’s up to us, the youth how do we posterize ourselves for a good future, career and a great personality by having a broader vision with a good self belief, a unidirectional goal an instant action with different sense of thinking as well as humor. 

This article was written by Mr.Nivesh Dugar a participant of a talk program regarding “Designing your future”  held in C.V. Raman hall, auditorium of Kathmandu University on 10th may 2013 by Red Cross Society of Kathmandu University in collaboration with Rotract club of Patan where the guest speaker was a NLP trainer and coach Mr. Joseph B. Niraula and our home speaker Dr. Nawaraj Khatiwada, coordinator of Department of Environment Science and Engineering.
