The students and faculty members of Calcutta Business School (CBS), in association with the Lion's Club, District 322B1 Blood Bank, organised a voluntary blood donation-cum-awareness camp at the B-School Campus today as a part of their ongoing corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative.

Mr Somdeb Bandopadhyay, (Inspector-in-Charge), Chief Guest, flagged off the camp in the presence of Director of Calcutta Business School, Dean – PGDM, faculty and CBS students. He congratulated all the students, the faculty and the Director for organizing such a camp.

"We are overwhelmed by enthusiastic response from the students of CBS. We at CBS have been promoting activities that have a direct and positive social impact and are in sync with global concepts like sustainable development, volunteerism, eco-friendliness, waste management and so on," said Dr Goutam Sengupta, Director, CBS. He also thanked Lions Club district 322B1 officials and doctors for conducting the camp at CBS.

"Management principles would be meaningless if it fails to carry out social responsibilities. Blood donation is one of the simplest and most important social contributions one can make for the greater good of society. We the students at CBS, along with others, just did that," said Anshul Agarwal, first year PGDM student.
