Where to go, what to carry, what it costs (nothing), and how the register alerts you when your group is needed.

The short version: walk into any licensed blood centre or scheduled camp with ID, pass a 10-minute health check, donate for 10 minutes. Free, always. Where:

Verified major centres, GMCH Guwahati, AMCH Dibrugarh, SMCH Silchar, JMCH Jorhat, BBCI Guwahati.
Scheduled camps, camp listings; colleges/NSS/club camps across Assam.
Anywhere licensed, for centres near you, your district page has live routing. What to carry: any ID. Cost: ₹0, paying for blood or being paid to donate is illegal in India. The smarter way: register on the Assam donor register, you’ll be alerted when a compatible patient near you actually needs blood, so your donation lands where it matters most. Two minutes, phone OTP, your own 6-digit sign-in code. Related: eligibility · first-time guide
