There is a beautiful, beautiful world around, bright and breezy. She can feel it. She can hear it. But she can’t see it. Visually challenged, Asthami Sutradhar, however, is not be deterred by her own world of darkness from seeking the light. She finds her own ways to come out and join –more meaningfully than many others—in the normal world activities. An inspiration from ‘Helen Keller’ , in a way, Asthami donates blood for the people. On Saturday it was sixth time that the Group D staff of Anandanagar PHC donated blood, this time at the Vivekananda Vichar Manch organized the blood donation camp at Gurkhabasti.
Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb who inaugurated the blood donation camp was visibly moved when he heard of Asthami. He wrote in his social media platform : “She pledged to donate blood and save as many lives as possible. Ashtami Sutradhar has set up an inspirational and unique instance. She is an inspiration and we have a lot to learn from her”. Deb assured her that he would inform Prime Minister Narendra Modi about her determination to donate blood and save lives.
Deb in his speech hailed the role of PM care fund to improve the condition of the state health care sector. He said, “The GB hospital is conducting critical surgeries in recent time.
Similarly, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Regional Cancer Hospital is also conducting such complex surgeries. In this context, he pointed out that ICA minister Sushanta Chowdhury’s mother underwent surgery at the Cancer hospital as well.
