On 1st May 2025, Youth Forum organised one of its most impactful community health drives — a single day that brought together two vital programmes: a Blood Donation Camp and a Free Eye Checkup Programme.
Held at Subhasgram, South 24 Parganas, the event was completely free and open to all residents. Over 225+ community members were directly served — making it a model for Youth Forum's combined-service approach to community health.
This event proved that when healthcare partners, community volunteers, and residents come together, a single day can change dozens of lives — and in some cases, save them.

In association with Ruby General Hospital, the Blood Donation Camp collected donations from 80 generous individuals, directly strengthening the region's critical blood supply at a time of acute shortage.
In partnership with Susrut Eye Foundation & Research Centre, the team provided free examinations to 145 residents, distributed 20 pairs of spectacles at zero cost, and facilitated 5 free cataract surgeries — restoring sight to those who had been living without it.

Many recipients of free spectacles were elderly residents and children from low-income families for whom prescription eyewear would have otherwise been financially out of reach. The 5 cataract surgeries were arranged at no cost and conducted at Susrut Eye Foundation — returning full vision to patients who had been living with impairment.
Youth Forum is organising its next Blood Donation Camp & Health Awareness Day on May 31, 2026 — with additional awareness sessions on Breast Cancer and Child Nutrition.
