ABOUT SURAKTHA

Many people even from villages would reach corporate hospitals for treatments but they couldn't arrange blood for themselves which redirected them to buy blood they required from vendors who sell Blood units which is illegal, for very expensive price and unaffordable to many people. In order to stop such illegal issues and lend a helping hand to these innocent people who couldn't arrange Blood for themselves

Generation Yuvaa has taken a responsibility and started a WING GEN-YUVAA SURAKTHA on 5th April, 2012 to fulfill the BLOOD requirements of the needy.

In the first year of establishment of SURAKTHA, could able to arrange 200 units of Blood to the needy with limited number of donors. But in the 2nd year, in 2013 our confidence & strength in helping many has increased abruptly with the kind heart of DONORS, Blood Banks and Other Social groups who witnessed our approach towards the needy of blood.

Now, we are feeling proud and enlightened to announce that we have reached those destitute people through 16120 donations to the needy (Update Jan 31st, 2024) which include 30% of Negative Blood group donations. This has all happened only because of sincere & kind support of Regular Donors, Different groups/trusts, volunteers and support from common public in Blood Donation camps. Hospitals played an important role in case verifications by providing Request letter on their respective letter heads where the patient is been admitted for treatment.

Now GEN-YUVAA SURAKTHA has become a major source to fulfill blood requirements to the needy in Visakhapatnam and some parts of Andhra Pradesh.
