INDIAN RED CROSS SOCIETY

Jean Henry Dunant, also known as the "Father of the Red Cross," was born in Geneva, Switzerland, on May 8, 1828. The Red Cross was founded in Geneva in 1863. It is a non-profit organisation dedicated to humanitarian aid. Though it began by focusing on the needs of those impacted by conflict, it eventually expanded its scope to include the prevention and relief of human suffering during natural disasters and other periods. The most essential component of its parent organization, the Indian Red Cross, is the Youth Red Cross. It is a student-led initiative for students in colleges and technical schools.
