    History of Red Cross

    In 1859, Swiss businessman Jean Henry Dunant was deeply moved by the suffering of wounded soldiers he witnessed on the battlefield of Solferino, Italy, during the Franco-Austrian War. He quickly organized relief efforts with the help of the local community. Inspired by this experience, he wrote the book Memory of Solferino, proposing the creation of a neutral organization to assist wounded soldiers in times of war. Just a year after its publication, an international conference in Geneva took up his suggestions, leading to the founding of the Red Cross Movement. The International Red Cross was officially established by the Geneva Convention of 1864, and its name and emblem, a reversal of the Swiss national flag, honor the country where it was founded.

    The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is the world's largest humanitarian network, dedicated to reducing human suffering and protecting life and dignity during conflicts and emergencies.

    Origin of Indian Red Cross Society

    During World War I in 1914, India had no dedicated relief organization for soldiers, relying only on the St. John Ambulance Association and the British Red Cross Joint Committee. To address the need for broader relief services for soldiers and civilians, a branch of this Joint Committee was later established in India in collaboration with St. John Ambulance.

    On 3rd March 1920, Sir Claude Hill introduced a bill in the Indian Legislative Council to form the Indian Red Cross Society, independent of the British Red Cross. The bill was passed on 17th March 1920 and became Act XV of 1920, with the Governor General's assent on 20th March.

    On 7th June 1920, fifty members were nominated to form the Indian Red Cross Society, and Sir Malcolm Hailey was elected as the first Chairman of its Managing Body. The Indian Red Cross Society is a member of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, maintaining strong ties with the Federation's India Delegation.

    Red Cross Emblem

    The Red Cross, Red Crescent, and Red Crystal are symbols of protection. International law safeguards the people who wear these symbols, as well as the buildings and vehicles that display them. These individuals are neutral and not involved in conflicts; their sole purpose is to assist those in need. The emblems are not religious symbols. The Red Cross emblem, featuring equal-length arms on a white background, is one of the most recognized symbols globally.
