"Life is for life," he said while addressing a reception for blood donors at the Institute of Engineers, Bangladesh on Tuesday evening.
Quantum Foundation (QF) organised the reception to honour about 300 blood donors for donating blood at least 3, 10, 25, and 50 times as members of lifelong, Silver, Golden, and Platinum clubs respectively.
QF Chief Coordinator Madam Nahar Al Bukhari chaired the function which the foundation's Director M Rezaul Hasan addressed.
Kawkab AS Sadia and M Mehedi Hasan also shared their feeling on behalf of blood donors and regular recipients of blood from the Quantum Blood Lab respectively on this occasion.
The minister as the chief guest said coordinated humanitarian efforts can take forward a nation as it helps earn sacred feelings and mental peace. He emphasized doing the work unitedly to make such kind of humanitarian work easy.
Focusing on the importance of peace in life, the LGRD Minister said mediation can also give stress-free life.
The speakers made a clarion call to the donors to continue their noble work for the humanitarian ground to meet the growing demand for blood in the country.
The QF organises the blood donor reception programme regularly to inspire donors to continue blood donation.
It has fulfilled a portion of the country's demand of 10-million-unit blood every year. This year, 1,08,000 blood units were supplied to the blood recipients collected from 35,000 donors.
