Indian Red Cross Society was constituted 100 years ago on the 20th of March 1920.
For 100 years, our volunteers have dedicated themselves to 'Minimizing, Alleviating & Preventing Human Suffering', wherever it may be found.
They are our backbone & our pride.

Their commitment towards humanity has always united them in their efforts to make people's lives better.

Today, as India Fights Corona, we see them across the country empowering vulnerable communities with knowledge & information that can save lives.

Age is no bar- volunteers, young & old are relentlessly pursuing humanitarian service to ensure no one is left behind.
Join us in saluting, thanking & celebrating their selfless service to humanity today!
