Kena lauds AVYS efforts for humanitarian services

Arunachal Pradesh Civil Aviation and Transport minister Jomde Kena today lauded Arunachal Vivekananda Yuva Shakti (AVYS) for its continued humanitarian services.
The joining of doctors and religious leaders is a proof of the good deeds of AVYS, Kena said while addressing the 7th foundation day of AVYS at Vivekananda Hall here.
Announcing to be part of AVYS, Kena gifted a Scooty and assured all support of the Arunachal Pradesh government for its efforts, particularly for mass awareness campaigns.
Terming blood donation as the noblest act, Food and Civil Supply Parliamentary Secretary Nyamar Karbak lauded AVYS for its path breaking efforts for the humanity, particularly in a multi-cultural and multi-religious tribal state.

"I am confident that AVYS will herald the much desired social change," Karbak said.
Founder Ramesh Jeke highlighted the journey of AVYS since its inception on November 26, 2008.

State PWD minister Gojen Gadi, who could not attend the ceremony, extended financial support and said "We are proud of the youth engaged in such humanitarian works and always support them to work for greater welfare of Arunachal."
"A crying mother in front of a hospital looking for blood to save her daughter about to be operated, changed my life to form AVYS," Jeke said adding, AVYS volunteers have saved 1,500 lives by donating blood and have so far collected over 7,000 units through donations in educational and religious institutions and festivals.

The guests also released the maiden AVYS souvenir 'Life' and felicitated 46 personalities including parents on behalf of the Federation of Indian Blood Donors Organisation to mark the occasion.
