Vishwa Umiya Dham has reported collecting more than 25,000 units of blood through an international donation campaign held across 151 locations in seven countries, while announcing plans for a large healthcare and education complex at its campus in Jaspur, Ahmedabad.
The campaign, organised by the youth organisation of the Vishwa Umiya Foundation under the guidance of its president R. P. Patel, was conducted in India, the United States and five other countries. According to Nav Gujarat Samay’s report, the foundation said the campaign had achieved a Golden Book of World Records milestone.
The blood donation drive was organised as a tribute to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel on his 151st birth anniversary. A meeting of presidents and secretaries of more than 80 Patidar organisations operating in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar was also held at the event.
The foundation’s announcement links the community campaign to a broader plan for social and urban infrastructure at the Vishwa Umiya Dham temple campus. R. P. Patel said the campus would include a hospital and hostel in addition to the temple facilities.
The proposed hospital is expected to be built at a cost of ₹700 crore. The foundation said it would be a multispeciality facility with more than 500 beds, although the report does not provide a construction schedule, land details, funding structure, approval status or proposed operating model.
The campus is also expected to include hostels for 2,000 boys and girls. The foundation said a skill university would be developed alongside the hostel project, but details about the university’s courses, affiliation, regulatory approvals and implementation timeline were not specified in the report.
The announcement places a community-led institution at the centre of a proposed healthcare and education cluster serving the Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar region. The blood campaign demonstrates the organisation’s ability to coordinate volunteers and collection sites across multiple locations, while the hospital proposal would represent a substantially larger infrastructure commitment requiring statutory approvals, construction planning and long-term operations.
The reported blood collection and the proposed campus facilities are separate components of the foundation’s activities. The report confirms the scale of the donation campaign and the broad outlines of the hospital, hostel and skill university plans, but does not establish when construction will begin or when the facilities will become operational.
The next milestones will depend on the foundation’s detailed project plans, approvals and construction timetable for the proposed multispeciality hospital, hostels and skill university.
