What Indian Society of Blood Transfusion and Immunohaematology (ISBTI) does

ISBTI is a non-profit voluntary organization founded in October 1972 and registered under India's Societies Registration Act since 1973, headquartered at Hisar, Haryana. Its mission is to achieve 100% voluntary, non-remunerated blood donation in India and to improve standards of transfusion medicine. The organization operates through a federated structure of 35 state chapters and zonal councils across all 36 Indian states and union territories, supported by approximately 5,642 individual and institutional members comprising blood transfusion specialists, clinicians, blood bank staff, donor motivators, and camp organizers.

The organization's product portfolio is program-oriented rather than commercial: it runs the annual Transcon national conference (currently in its 51st year), publishes the peer-reviewed Asian Journal of Transfusion Science, operates the Gold 25 donor recognition club, delivers training programs (12,000+ persons trained to date) covering donor motivation, camp organization, and transfusion practices, and conducts a School Education Program targeting 11th and 12th-grade students. It also coordinates blood donation camps, including a 2021 mega drive that collected 97,744 units in a single day (recognized by the World Book of Records, London). ISBTI is an affiliate body of the WHO, a member of NACO's Technical Resource Group, and empanelled with the TISS CSR Hub.

ISBTI's business model is membership-funded and CSR-supported rather than commercial. Revenue streams include lifetime and annual membership fees (Rs 5,000 for individual lifetime, Rs 10,000–20,000 for institutional, Rs 50,000 for institutional lifetime), CSR contributions channelled through the TISS CSR Hub, conference fees, and donor contributions. The organization employs only 6 staff but is led by a governing body of senior medical professionals and led at the national level by Dr. Yudhbir Singh (President) and Dr. Sangeeta Pathak (Secretary General). No technology platform, AI capabilities, or commercial product lines are indicated; operations rely on a community-led, grassroots mobilization model.
