Jamshedpur: Efforts of the district administration bore fruit after East Singhbhum managed to get 221 plasma donors, of which 30% were from rural areas of the district.
“Due to our awareness campaigns, donors from rural hinterlands came forward to donate plasma in the last two to three months,” said deputy collector and district in-charge for plasma donation campaign Smita Nagesia.
She said FM radio channels have been quite effective in enlightening and encouraging those who recovered from the virus in the villages to come forward and donate. Nagasia added that banners and posters have been put up in public places such as bus stands and rural markets to encourage villagers for the plasma donation.
