Rooted in more than three decades of voluntary blood donation, humanitarian service and community mobilisation, RAKTDAAN.app brings the spirit of selfless service into a connected digital future.
RAKTDAAN.app is a people-first blood donation initiative developed around a simple belief: when a family needs blood, help should begin within its own community—not with uncertainty and a desperate search.
For over three decades, voluntary donors, organisers, families and social workers have come together to motivate new donors, support patients and organise blood donation efforts. Our platform aims to make these connections easier to discover and more useful when time matters.
Our identity is not defined by an app alone. It is shaped by every person who gives blood without expecting anything in return.
Our mission and vision are built on the lived experience of donors and families.
To bring voluntary blood donation into every household, inspire safe and regular donation, encourage youth participation, and help patients connect with willing donors and reliable blood centre information. We work to strengthen local support networks so that the first response to a blood need is compassion, cooperation and action.
To build a nation where blood donation becomes a shared social responsibility; where families do not feel alone in a medical emergency; and where community networks and responsible technology work together to help improve access to timely, safe blood.
Our guiding thought: a blood donor in every home, a helping hand in every neighbourhood.
The story began with an early encounter with the urgent need for blood and grew into a lifelong commitment.
An experience connected to a college-era bus accident inspired Naresh Sharma to begin donating blood at IGMC Shimla.
Over the years, voluntary donation awareness, hundreds of camp-related service activities and support networks grew across Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, Haryana and beyond.
RAKTDAAN.app was envisioned to connect willing donors, patients, blood centres and awareness resources in one accessible place.
Naresh Sharma's 129th voluntary blood donation in Mithila represents a milestone—not the end of the mission.
Across decades, the mission has included organising and supporting blood donation camps, motivating first-time donors, coordinating with volunteers and helping patients and their families find support.
Community work has extended across Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, Haryana and other parts of India. The true strength of this effort lies in ordinary citizens who come forward without personal gain.
Every awareness session, camp and emergency request reinforces one conviction: regular voluntary donation and a trusted local network can make a meaningful difference.
We advocate for wider awareness, informed screening and counselling, voluntary donation, and reliable support for people living with thalassemia who may need regular transfusions.
Help families and young people understand thalassemia, carrier screening and the value of informed healthcare advice.
Encourage regular, eligible voluntary donors to support the sustained needs of patients receiving transfusion care.
Promote respectful community support while medical decisions, screening and treatment remain in the hands of qualified professionals.
Thalassemia prevention and treatment require qualified medical guidance. Blood donations and screening must follow applicable medical and regulatory standards.
People may be willing to donate, yet families often struggle to locate relevant contacts during a medical emergency. RAKTDAAN.app aims to make it easier to register as a donor, search registered donors, locate blood centres and learn about donation.
Blood stock and donor availability must be confirmed directly with the concerned blood centre or donor; information on the website is not a guarantee of supply.
Choose a step you can take today—whether you want to donate, help someone or understand how blood donation works.

Naresh Sharma, a Centurion Blood Donor and social worker from Theog in Shimla district, Himachal Pradesh, has dedicated more than three decades to voluntary blood donation awareness and humanitarian assistance.
His 129 personal donations tell one part of the story. The larger story is a continuing effort to inspire donors, support community blood donation camps, promote thalassemia awareness and encourage service-minded citizens to respond when people need help.
For him, “Har Ghar Raktdata — Ghar-Ghar Raktdata” is not a slogan alone; it is a call to create a culture in which every household understands the value of voluntary blood donation.
Real donors and motivators whose example helps carry the message of voluntary, selfless blood donation forward. These descriptions do not imply unverified formal management roles.
Naresh Sharma is the Founder of RAKTDAAN.app, a Centurion Blood Donor and a social worker from Theog in Shimla district, Himachal Pradesh. For more than three decades, he has devoted his efforts to voluntary blood donation, humanitarian assistance, public awareness and service to the nation and nature.
His journey of 129 voluntary blood donations is only one part of a much wider commitment. Alongside fellow volunteers, he has helped organise and support blood donation camps, encouraged first-time donors and assisted families searching for help across Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, Haryana and other parts of India.
He believes that no family should lose a loved one merely because help could not be found in time. That conviction inspired RAKTDAAN.app: a people-first initiative intended to make donor connections and blood-centre information more accessible, while respecting medical safety and donor consent.
His guiding call, “Har Ghar Raktdata — Ghar-Ghar Raktdata,” invites every family to understand the value of voluntary donation and every community to become a source of hope. His mission joins service to humanity with responsibility towards society, the nation and the environment.
Vaishali Pandya of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, is a Centurion Blood Donor associated with the Indian Red Cross Society (IRCS). Her remarkable reported record stands at 149 donations, comprising 61 whole-blood donations and 88 single-donor platelet (SDP) donations.
Platelet donation demands commitment, planning and repeated willingness to help patients whose treatment may depend on specialised blood components. Her participation demonstrates how a dedicated donor can make sustained service a way of life.
Her contribution offers encouragement to women, young people and families to participate in responsible voluntary blood donation. She is a source of inspiration for those who hope to turn compassion into practical action.
Through awareness, encouragement and the example of continued donation, she represents the strength of an inclusive blood donor movement in which women and men serve side by side for the dignity of patients.
Deepak Vibhakar Naik, a Centurion Blood Donor from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, stands among experienced donors whose sustained commitment encourages others to give blood voluntarily.
His journey demonstrates that lasting social change is built by regular acts of service rather than occasional gestures. Experienced donors play a valuable role by helping newcomers overcome hesitation and understand responsible donation.
The voluntary blood donation movement grows stronger when donors share their knowledge, motivate local communities and support requests with compassion and care. His example reflects these values.
He is featured here in recognition of the broader community of dedicated donors who inspire cooperation across cities and states, turning individual acts of kindness into a culture of public service.

Blood donation brings people together across differences of background, belief and opinion. It is a simple yet meaningful reminder that the need to save lives is a shared responsibility.
His presence in this community celebrates the contribution of people who use their experience and public engagement to encourage empathy, voluntary participation and a stronger culture of giving.
Dinesh Vaishnav of Chittorgarh, Rajasthan, is a voluntary blood donor and youth motivator. His reported journey of 42 blood donations shows how consistent service can inspire others, particularly younger generations.
He is also interested in writing and using words to encourage public awareness, compassion and social responsibility. Good communication can help remove misconceptions about blood donation and motivate first-time donors.
His example reminds young people that service is not defined by age or public recognition. Every eligible donor can make a difference through informed decisions and a willingness to help.
By connecting the energy of youth with the enduring values of community service, Dinesh represents a new generation carrying forward the lifesaving tradition of voluntary blood donation.
Each image reflects a chapter in a lived journey of voluntary blood donation, awareness and community engagement.

Make donation education and readiness part of daily community life.
Strengthen awareness for thalassemia and other patients who depend on regular blood support.
