Uday India Knowledge Tree organized Mega

Blood Donation Camp with support of

Central Association of Private Security

Industry (CAPSI) at Motilal Nehru Marg, New

Delhi on 20th Aug 2016 from 9:00 am to 5:00

pm. This camp was specially organised to pay

tribute to the soldiers who have sacrificed their

life at Kashmir. It was inaugurated by the Union

Home Minister, Shri Rajnath Singh. The Union

Minister for Tribal Affairs, Shri Jual Oram,

Kunwar Vikram Singh, Chairman, Mr. Mahesh

Sharma, Secretary General – CAPSI and other

dignitaries were also present.

The camp was launched objective of solving the

problem of blood shortage in India.

According to WHO data, India faces a shortage

of 3 million blood units. This shortage can easily

be eliminated if only an additional 2% of India's

youth donates blood. To make this possible,

Uday India Knowledge Tree acts as a channel

connecting voluntary blood donors with those

who need blood.

Private Security Guards from various Security

Companies participated as volunteers. Over 200

donors donated blood at the camp. Certificates

were presented to blood donors.

We are overwhelmed by the response we

received to the camp and by the large number of

eligible donors who took out time to do their bit

to save lives in the future and to fulfil the

demand of blood required in the country.

Through the blood donation camp, CAPSI wish

to enhance awareness around a simple

message: Blood is meant to circulate. Let's

pass it around!"

After this blood donation camp Uday India

Knowledge Tree is creating an innovative

system of Donors chain for blood donation to

the needy people in need. We are having at least

100 donors ready always to face any sort of

casualties.

LABOUR REFORMS WILL HELP

SECURITY GUARDS Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) Annual Private Security Industry Conclave 2016 was organised by FICCI on 14th September 2016 at New Delhi. Sri Bandaru Dattatrey was invited as the Chief Guest. The objective of the conclave is to bring together the government, major industry players, controlling authorities, user agencies and other stakeholders to highlight the concerns of the Industry and to ensure a larger role for the private security services in the development of the nation. Addressing at the Conclave, the Minister said, “The Ministry of Labour and Employment has decided to categorize security guards as “skilled” workers and armed security guards and security supervisors as “highly skilled”. This will entitle them to receive a minimum wage of Rs 15,000 per month and Rs 25,000 per month, respectively. The minister also said that the Centre will not only bring enhanced wages to over 50 lakh security personnel currently engaged in the private security space, but will provide social security cover to over 2.5 crore of their family members. “The decision will also enable private security agencies to recruit, train and employ quality workforce for the sector, which has been an indispensable demand of all stakeholders alike — security agencies, corporations and the public,” he said. He further added that the ministry is amalgamating 44 central labour laws into four codes, which will be referred to the Cabinet shortly. He expressed hope that a Bill to this effect will be introduced in the next session for parliamentary approval. The four codes relate to wages, industrial relations, social security and working conditions and health and safety.
