Indian Red Cross Society
The Indian Red Cross Society (IRCS) is a voluntary humanitarian organisation to protect human life and health based in India. It is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and so shares the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. The society's mission is providing relief in times of disasters/emergencies and promoting health & care of vulnerable people and communities. It has a network of over 700 branches throughout India.〔 The Society uses the Red Cross as an emblem in common with other international Red Cross societies. Volunteering has been at the very heart of the Indian Red Cross Society since its inception in 1920, with the Society having ''Youth'' and ''Junior'' volunteering programmes. The Society is closely associated with the St John Ambulance in India.
==History==
During the First World War relief services for affected soldiers in India was provided by a branch of the ''Joint War Committee'', a collaboration between the St. John Ambulance Association and the British Red Cross. On 3 March 1920 a bill was introduced to the Indian Legislative Council by Sir Claude Hill (a member of the Viceroy's Executive Council who was also Chairman of the Joint War Committee in India) to constitute the Indian Red Cross Society, independent of the British Red Cross. The Bill was passed as the ''Indian Red Cross Society Act, 1920'' on 17 March 1920, and became Parliament Act XV of 1920 with the assent of the Governor General on the 20 March 1920.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://indianredcross.org/Act_XV_of_1920.pdf )〕
On 7 June 1920 fifty members were formally nominated to constitute the Indian Red Cross Society from members of the Indian branch of the Joint War Committee.〔 The first Managing Body was elected from among them with Sir William Malcolm Hailey as Chairman.
