EXTENSION ACTIVITIES
BLOOD GROUP DETECTION CAMP
Blood group detection camp is organized every year for fresher’s of our institute. By this activity students will get to know their blood group. The accurate grouping of blood is very important during blood transfusion. The ABO classification is the most important and relevant for blood group compatibility. A small number of antigens and antibodies are responsible for ABO blood types.
WORLD WILDLIFE WEEK CELEBRATION
Wildlife week is celebrated every year in the first week of October. A number of competitions are organized by the Zoological Association with different themes related to wildlife. By doing so, the students will develop the sense of love and respect for nature.
