History of Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement Young Swiss businessman, Jean Henry Dunant was appalled by the condition of the wounded soldiers he happened to see in the battle field of Solferino , Italy in 1859 during the Franco - Austrian war. He arranged relief services with the help of the local community immediately. He wrote the book 'Memory of Solferino' suggesting that a neutral organization be established to aid the wounded soldiers in times of war. Just a year after the release of this book, an international conference was convened in Geneva to consider the suggestions of Henry Dunant and thus the Red Cross Movement was born. International Red Cross Movement was established by Geneva Convention of 1864. The name and the emblem of the movement are derived from the reversal of the Swiss national flag, to honor the country in which Red Cross was found. महाविद्यालय के छात्रों में सेवा भावना के विकास , प्राकृतिक आपदा आदि के समय समाज एवं विभिन्न राष्ट्रीय कार्यों में सहयोग प्रदान करने का प्रशिक्षण देने के उददेश्य से भारतीय रेड क्रास सोसायटी का गठन प्रत्येक सत्र में किया जाता है। महाविद्यालय के समस्त छात्र छात्राएं इसके सदस्य होते हैं। सोसायटी के तत्वावधान के स्वास्थ्य परीक्षण शिविर, रक्त समूह परीक्षण शिविर का आयोजन किया जाता है। छात्रों को स्वैच्छिक रक्तदान करने हेतु प्रेरित किया जाता है। सोसायटी के द्रारा प्रतिवर्ष राष्ट्रीय सेवा योजना के सात दिवसीय शिविर आयोजित होने वाले ग्राम में प्राथमिक विद्यालय में अध्ययनरत गरीब छात्र-छात्राओं को शाला गणवेश नि:शुल्क प्रदान किया जाता है। सोसायटी के कार्यों के संचालन हेतु एक प्रभारी प्राध्यापक की नियुक्ति की जाती है।
