Organized by the Nirmal Gehlot Charitable Foundation, the event featured Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar inaugurating the “Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Blood Donation Center”. This three-story, modern center, equipped with the latest technology, serves as a hub where individuals can meditate while waiting to donate blood.
