Who we are
A society built by people who kept showing up.
Indian Blood Bank Society is registered as per The TCLSCS Registration Act XII of 1955 under the Government of Kerala. This society is aimed at promoting the awareness of blood donation among the public, and is committed to attracting the public — without linguistic, religious or political difference — to donate blood.
It was formed as a charity organisation with the active initiation and guidance of Lt. Col. (Hon.) Dr. Mohanlal, under act for humanity — a non-profit organisation founded by Mr. Esahaque Eswaramangalam and a group of young social workers during 2004, with Lt. Col. (Hon.) Dr. Mohanlal as its lifetime goodwill ambassador.
What we do
- 01
Awareness
The society exists first to promote awareness of blood donation among the public, and to dissolve the myths that keep willing people from ever donating a first time.
- 02
A donor registry
IndianBloodBank.com lets a patient search for a donor in their own locality and reach them directly — by SMS, by email, or by call. Volunteers register once and stay reachable.
- 03
Recognition
The society honours the individuals and institutions who quietly keep this work going, because recognising humanitarian effort is itself what motivates more of it.
03Our first initiative
IndianBloodBank.com — the society’s official blood bank portal.
Finding a donor in an emergency is hard, and it gets harder the rarer the blood group. The portal exists to shorten that search: register once as a donor, or search for one in the patient’s own locality and reach them directly.
Go to IndianBloodBank.com“The IBBS had been working here for some time now, and it has a database of about 10,000 people on the website.”
Who runs it
Alongside the founders, the society is run by an executive committee of 12 office bearers and members, supported by a wider circle of professionals and volunteers who give their time to it.
