when we found that there is huge shortage of blood supplies and blood is not easily available by the needy and the donors are not updated with their records and lot of people are not aware of the importance of blood donation at that time we thought that this is the need of the hour and its very important then we came up with an idea of advanced blood donor search website and launched RTI BLOOD INFO .org The commitment was simple. Whenever there is any requirement of blood which the blood banks in the city fail to satisfy, we requested them to forward it over to us.

Whenever there is any requirement of blood which the blood banks in the city fail to satisfy, we requested them to forward it over to us. emergency blood helpline has been working since then taking up all emergency blood requests that come up. Every time the donor went to donate, he/she was doubtful about his/her safety. Is this the right place to donate? Am I safe? Will they sell my blood? These questions were raised frequently and there were no sure answers.. Each party blew it's own trumpet. We explored, we studied and we came up with solution. We came up with information that answers the donor's questions and ensures the safest of all donations. The blood banks across the country face a problem in delivering good quality of service to the people. They are many time unable to deliver the gift of life. To ensure safe and sustainable supply of blood it was realized that enrollment of Voluntary Non-remunerative blood donors was a must. People wanted to donate blood. But there was little organized help to conduct camps. We are working on the road to 100% Voluntary Non- Remunerative Blood donation. We are slowly changing attitudes. we are slowly pushing in reforms. We are providing help, but at the same time we are empowering people to help themselves.

ROUND TABLE INDIA

Welcome to the wonderful world of Tabling. Centuries ago in medieval , King Arthur headed a group of brave Knights called the 'Round Table'. Today's Knights, the Round Tablers, do not wear a shining armour. Instead, they are equipped with a large community vision, caring hearts and the will to achieve positive results.Round Table is an organisation of non-political and non-sectarian young men between the age group of 18 and 40. The aim of the young men is to promote service, fellowship and goodwill in National and International affairs. The unique feature of this organisation is that it always remains young, because the Tablers retire when they turn 40, giving way to younger people. Round Table was born in 82 years back.Louis Marchesi, then a Rotarian, formed the first Round Table in in in 1927.From a small group of 8 members, today Round Table has grown to 43,000 members across 52 countries representing every corner of the worldRound Table's motto is "ADOPT, ADAPT, IMPROVE". This motto was taken from a speech by the Prince of Wales, in which he said: "The young business and professional men of the country must get together round the Table, adopt methods that have proved so sound in the past, adapt them to the changing needs of the times, and wherever possible, improve them".Such a wonderful movement, Round Tabling came to in 1957 with the formation of Madras Round Table No.1.Round Table , the association, was formed on November 14, 1962 with just a membership of 100. It has, over the last 4 decades, grown to become a 2500 member strong association today.We have around 200 Tables located in 72 cities and towns, comprising of businessmen, entrepreneurs, technocrats and professionals. Men who can rise above personal concerns to seek and serve the larger needs of the community.

Round Table is divided into 11 Areas, which have their own Area Board to administer them.The National Secretariat, the hub of all activities of Round Table , is located at Chennai.We have formed our own Round Table India Foundation which provides financial support every year for projects done by Tables. The Corpus of the Foundation is close to Rs.20 Million now.The wives of Tablers have their own National Association called Ladies Circle India. is assisting every activity of Round Table , apart from having their own service projects.The Past Tablers of Round Table have formed the "41 Clubs of ".

WHY DONATE BLOOD ?Blood is the part of life that is given to those who need it by those who have the resource to satisfy the need. The love of fellow human and a desire to share something of oneself is what singles out a blood donor from the others. Emergencies occur every minute. For each patient requiring blood, it is an emergency and the patients could have set back if blood is not available.

Your blood donation may be even more special than you realizeA single donation from you can help one or more patients. This is possible because whole blood is made up of several useful components. These components perform special functions in your body and in the body of patients who receive your blood. The various blood componentsare Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Plasma and selected Plasma Proteins. Each of these components can be separated from your donated volume of blood and transfused into a specific patient requiring that particular component. Thus, many can benefit from one unit of blood.

Blood is needed every minuteTo replace blood lost because of accidents or diseases.To treat shock due to injury.For Major & Minor surgeries including open heart surgeries, transplants etc.For burn victims.For patients suffering from Anemia.During child birth for the mother.For exchange transfusion for new born infants.To make blood derivatives which are used to treat medical problems.For children suffering from ailments like Thalassaemia, Hemophilia (bleeding disorders) , Leukemia, Blood Cancer.

History of BloodA Roman doctor named Galen believed that blood was formed in the liver and was unaware that the heart pumped blood through the arteries and veins. It wasn’t until the 1600’s that it was discovered blood circulates throughout the body, pumped by the heart.

White Blood Cells Defend the Body Against Disease & InfectionWhite blood cells are the body’s defense system. There are three types of white blood cells: granulocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes. They all fight infection from bacteria, viruses and microbes that can cause diseases.

Blood Circulation & RespirationOne complete round trip will take, on average only 30 to 45 seconds. And, even less during exercise. The human body has so many miles of blood vessels inside of it that they could encircle the earth twice, then a little bit more.

Platelets & Blood Vessel RepairPlatelets are small pieces of cell material, or cytoplasm, whose job it is to plug holes in vessel walls. They look like two plates stuck together, but when they are helping to form a clot, they change shape. In the event of a tear inside a blood vessel wall millions of platelets respond to the injury, throwing themselves over the cut. They stick to the wound's edges and to each other to form a plug that slows the loss of blood within three to five minutes.

Blood Types & ActivityThere are four different human blood groups: O, A, B and AB. Groups A and B have certain inherited antigens, or markers, on their red blood cells. The most common blood types iare A Rh positive and O Rh positive… about 72 percent of the population is one or the other. The rarest blood type is AB Rh negative.
