Chandigarh:

10 September 2010:

As many as 251 units of blood were collected in the 4th Blood Donation Camp organized at Competent House, C-157, Industrial Area, Phase-VII, Mohali by the Competent Foundation, a charitable organization of Competent Group, which is handling call centre, stock brokerage, commodity brokerage, insurance brokerage, and financial consultancies etc, with the help of GMCH (Government Medical College & Hospital, Chandigarh).

The camp was inaugurated by Sh. S. C. Aggarwal IAS, Chief Secretary of Punjab, who was welcomed by Sh. Sanjay Tandon, Chairman of Competent Group, Chandigarh. The team of doctors led by Dr. Vipin Kaushal, Medical Superintendent from GMCH Blood Bank managed the Blood Donation Camp.

This programme was attended by Mr Praveen Kumar Deputy Commissioner Mohali, Mr B. S. Multani Additional Chief Administrator GMADA and Mr RPS Walia SDM Mohali, besides several Councillors of Chandigarh Corporation and the Office Bearers of Bharatiya Janta Party, Chandigarh. President of Competent Foundation Sh. Balramji Dass Tandon Former Minister of Punjab welcomed all of them.

Understanding the corporate social responsibility, COMPETENT GROUP had formed a charitable society by the name of COMPETENT FOUNDATION, five years back. This foundation is known for undertaking various projects to help the under privileged in the society by organizing weekly lungars, medical camps, free education etc.

The GMCH authorities thanked Competent Group for this selfless service to the society. Each donor was presented with a book of inspirational stories published by Competent Foundation, written by Priya & Sanjay Tandon and a Certificate from GMCH. Earlier to this the Foundation had organized three Blood Donation Camps in which 326, 401 and 315 units of blood were collected and donated to PGI, Chandigarh.

The Chairman of Competent Group, Mr Sanjay Tandon, thanked all the donors for their participation and blessings. He said if the people start donating blood voluntarily, there will be no shortage of blood in the Country and thousands of lives could be saved.

On June 8, 2010, COMPETENT FOUNDATION, Chandigarh donated 10 wheel chairs to Government Medical College & Hospital Sector 32, Chandigarh which were handed over to Dr. Raj Bahadur, Director Principal GMCH, Chandigarh by Sh. Balramji Dass Tandon, former Cabinet Minister Punjab and President of the Foundation.

Foundation’s Secretary Sh. Sanjay Tandon said that the idea of donation of wheel chairs came to his mind when his son’s foot got fractured and he went to the GMCH to get his foot plastered. At that time, no wheelchair was available because of which he had to carry his son to the doctor room.

It was then that he thought that Competent Foundation should donate wheelchairs to the hospital thereby understanding its Corporate Social responsibility as Chairman of the Competent Group.

Dr Raj Bahadur had expressed that they were facing difficulty in carrying out the repair & maintenance of the existing wheelchairs & trolleys. So Mr Tandon offered to provide for the repair and maintenance of all wheelchairs & strechers of the hospital, which was duly accepted.
