All these things were sponsored by various units of Kamal Narpani Iyakkam across the State including Chennai, Thiruvannamalai, Perambalur, Hosur and Cuddalore. Also the best serving units were given special awards.

Speaking on the occasion, Kamal said, "We are preparing a data list of all blood donors and in future anyone can approach the Narpani Iyakkam in case of emergency."
