RI Director Raju Subramanian inaugurated a refrigerated centrifuge donated by RC Nasik, RID 3030, to the Jankalyan Blood Bank in the city. The equipment was procured through a global grant of $54,500. The global partner was RC Bahia Norte, Brazil, while local firm, Ring Plus Aqua, chipped in with a CSR fund of ₹12 lakh.

More than 20,000 blood bags were being given to patients each year by this blood bank. The refrigerated centrifuge can separate components like platelets, plasma and cryoprecipitate from the donated blood, and hence, can help multiple patients from the same quantum of blood. DG Asha Venugopal was also ­present at the event.
