Avinash Potdar, past district governor of Rotary, inaugurated the bank at the foundation premises in Kanabaragi.
Mahesh Jadhav, founder, said that the bank would raise awareness among the youth and encourage them to donate blood regularly. There is a huge demand for blood but scarcity arises because of the lack of awareness of donating blood among the youth.
