Chiranjeevi launched his Charitable Trust on 2nd October 1998 with a mission to bridge the gap between demand and supply of blood in AP. Chiranjeevi promoted the awareness of blood donation very aggressively with the help of his fans. Each film of him also has clippings of Chiranjeevi’s message about blood and eye donation. In 1997, the demand for blood units in AP was around 1,50,000 and the supply was only 50,000 which was 33%. With the initiative taken by Chiranjeevi in spreading the awareness of blood donation, the demand-supply gap is minimized to 65% now. Naga Babu contributed a lot towards the trust and Fans president Swamy Naidu has been with CCT since the inception. We also provided 5000 onsite blood donors on behalf of CCT. CCT has provided 67,000 units of blood so far and our mission is to complete 1 lakh units by the end of year 2007. Around 3 and half lakh of people pledged their eyes to CCT so far. 1600 people got eye sight because of CCT. KP Reddy (Maxi Vision) and Prasad Eye Institute are with us in eye donation program. CCT also won ‘Best Voluntary Blood Bank Award’ by the AP State Government for the past 3 consecutive years. We are very thankful to His Excellency Dr. Abdul Kalam for gracing this facility
