Chief Minister Manik Saha has several times appealed that the women in the state should also come forward to donate blood.

I will also request others to come forward to donate blood." To keep the balance in the fourteen blood banks in the State of Tripura, blood donation camps have been a regular practice in response to the appeal of CM Saha.
