Students Sell Blood to Fund Education Amid Crisis in Uttar Pradesh

Students have to sell their blood to meet the expenses of education. These children from poor families have to pay for expensive coaching, hostel-mess fees of NEET-SSC. To raise money, some students are forced to sell their blood 2 times a month, some 4 times a month. On the hidden camera, such students told their helplessness - Papa is a farmer, but not enough land to meet all the expenses of the house from farming. That is why we manage the expenses of education. The money that we get by selling blood, many times we also send it to the village. In many cities of UP, students have started selling blood to deal with the crisis. On getting this input, we chose Prayagraj to investigate, because thousands of students prepare for NEET-SSC. Our undercover reporters reached the house of a patient at Rajapur intersection in Prayagraj. The Allahabad Medical Blood Bank (AMA) is the biggest blood bank in Prayagraj.
