IRCS KORBA
Carrying forward the historic legacy of Jean Henry Dunant with dedicated service to Korba district and Chhattisgarh.
Young Swiss businessman Jean Henry Dunant was appalled by the suffering of thousands of wounded soldiers in the battlefield of Solferino, Italy in 1859 during the Franco-Austrian war.
He immediately arranged relief services with the help of the local community and authored his famous book 'A Memory of Solferino', suggesting that a permanent neutral organization be established to aid wounded soldiers in times of war.
In 1864, an international conference in Geneva adopted the Geneva Convention, giving birth to the International Red Cross Movement. To honor Switzerland where the movement was founded, the emblem was designed as the reversal of the Swiss national flag: a red cross on a white ground.
The Indian Red Cross Society was incorporated under Parliament Act XV of 1920. The Honourable President of India serves as the President of the Indian Red Cross Society nationally. The society operates across all states and union territories.
Chhattisgarh State Red Cross was established on 04 April 2001 at Governor House Raipur. Dr. S.C. Majumder (Rtd. I.A.S.) was the First Chairman. The Honourable Governor of Chhattisgarh is the President of the State Branch, and the Hon'ble Chief Minister is the Senior Vice President.
