A group of engineering students of city-based colleges have built an android application to bridge the gap between blood donors and recipient institutions that the blood is donated to.
The group of students came up with creative technological solution at the inaugural Hyderabad Code for Good challenge hosted by global financial services firm JP Morgan in the city, a release issued here said today.

Around 120 students from six engineering colleges participated in the inaugural JP Morgan Hyderabad Code for Good Challenge that concluded last evening.
