In an inspiring display of community engagement, the Assam Rifles, recognized for their significant role in the Northeastern region, organized a blood donation camp in partnership with the District Hospital Tamenglong. This event took place on October 1, 2025, as part of the ‘Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivaar Abhiyaan’—translated as “Healthy Women, Empowered Family Campaign”—aimed at promoting health awareness and voluntary blood donation in Manipur.
The camp attracted a remarkable turnout from local residents, youth volunteers, and personnel of the Assam Rifles, underlining a strong atmosphere of unity and civic responsibility. Medical professionals from the District Hospital were on hand to conduct health checks and provide guidance to participants, emphasizing the life-saving importance of regular blood donations, particularly in remote and underserved areas.
The initiative not only sought to address the dire need for blood but also placed significant attention on women’s health, maternal care, and preventive healthcare measures. The campaign advocates that the journey towards healthy families begins with the empowerment and well-being of women. By highlighting this critical link, Assam Rifles aims to enhance awareness regarding women’s health as a foundation for building resilient families and communities.
Such endeavors showcase the commitment of the Assam Rifles beyond their traditional security roles, emphasizing their integral part in community development, healthcare awareness, and social upliftment in the Northeastern states. Through various programs, including medical camps and educational outreach efforts, the Assam Rifles strive to bridge the connection between security forces and local populations, fulfilling their mission as a protectorate and facilitator of progress in the region.
