Volunteerism by employees of TRF and it associates witnessed a surge with the successful organization of the first of the biannual blood donation camp, ‘Navjeevan’ by the TRF Ladies Association, in association with Voluntary Blood Donors’ Association(VBDA). Today, as many as 153 donors voluntarily gave blood to the Jamshedpur Blood Bank, which is of immense value to them as the requirement for blood during the summer season increases.
In addition to the donors, the employees of the company, especially the medical department, members of the TRF Ladies Association (TRFLA) collaborated and contributed voluntarily to make ‘Navjeevan’ successful. The TRFLA which is also the corporate social responsibility arm of the Company, conducts many activities such as running a literacy school for the needy and underprivileged children, a women empowerment cell, rain water harvesting for the community, to name a few has been consistently recognized by the Voluntary Blood Donors.
