INDIAN REDCROSS SOCIETY
The Indian Red Cross is a voluntary humanitarian organization having a network of over 700 branches throughout the country, providing relief in times of disasters/emergencies and promotes health & care of the vulnerable people and communities. It is a leading member of the largest independent humanitarian organization in the world, the International Red Cross & Red Crescent Movement. The movement has three main components, the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC), 187 National Societies and International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
The Mission of the Indian Red Cross is to inspire, encourage and initiate at all times all forms of humanitarian activities so that human suffering can be minimized and even prevented and thus contribute to creating more congenial climate for peace.
"Youth Red Cross" is the most important constituent of its parent organization, Indian Red Cross Society. It is a group activity organized within the college for students aged between 18 and 25 years. A qualified lecturer is recognized as the leader and he is called the programme officer. Under his guidance, the students are trained and encouraged to carry out the activities of the Red Cross Society.
