The Purbottar Pradeshiya Marwari Yuva Manch was established in 1978 in Guwahati. It gradually acquired the stature of a national organisation with about 762 branches all over the country. It has now a membership of over one lakh.

Voluntary organisation Purbottar Pradeshiya Marwari Yuva Manch is setting an example in blood donation. It has made blood donation a movement for a large section of the State’s youths. It has been honoured by the State’s AIDS Control Society for years together as one of the highest blood donor societies of the State.

There is a need to make the people aware of the positive effects of blood donation, he added.
