“The main aim of the formation of Red Cross Society was to serve the people”
Presiding over the Geneva Conventions Day, Prof. Manikchand B. said, the Red Cross Society was established to serve the injured in international conflicts and in war zones. The motto of the society was not to allow anyone suffer unnecessarily.
The volunteers of Youth Red Cross wing of the institute and Prof. Vishwanath N. briefed the students about the Geneva conventions and also about the founder of Red Cross, Jean Henry Dunant who succeeded in getting the acceptance from the nations engaged in wars to accept Red Cross as a neutral agency and was responsible to get the First Geneva Convention signed by 12 nations on 12th August 1864.
