Greenman Viral Desai Leads Blood Drive, Pledges Fight Against Thalassemia

Surat, Gujarat – Known for his relentless dedication to environmental conservation, Surat’s very own “Greenman” Viral Desai added another feather to his cap by successfully organizing a blood donation camp in collaboration with the Surat Blood Donation Center on Friday. Held in the Katargam area, this marked the second consecutive year of Desai’s initiative to support public health alongside environmental causes.

What made the event stand out was the enthusiastic participation of a large number of donors from various sectors, including key figures from the city’s thriving diamond and textile industries. Their presence signaled growing solidarity in Surat’s business community for socially impactful causes.

Speaking at the event, Viral Desai stated, “Our primary mission has always been environmental protection, evident from the 6.5 lakh trees we’ve planted and the seven urban forests we’ve developed. But as a proud member of the Surat Blood Donation Center, it’s my privilege to support life-saving causes like blood donation and to stand with those fighting diseases such as thalassemia.”

Desai emphasized that this initiative is not a diversion from his green mission but an extension of his larger vision for a healthier and more sustainable society. He aims to continue balancing both environmental and humanitarian causes in future campaigns.

The blood donation camp saw robust community involvement, reflecting a positive shift toward greater civic responsibility among Surat’s residents. Organizers reported an encouraging turnout and credited effective planning, local leadership support, and increased awareness as the driving forces behind the event’s success.

Social workers and health professionals at the camp praised Desai’s dual commitment. “It’s rare to see someone contribute to both the environment and healthcare at this level. Viralbhai is setting an example,” said a volunteer from the Blood Donation Center.

With this initiative, Greenman Viral Desai continues to inspire, demonstrating that true change-makers don’t limit themselves to one cause—they rise to meet every challenge where society needs them most.
