Youth Red Cross Wing (YRCW)
Origin
During the first World War in 1914, India had no organization for relief services to the affected soldiers, except a branch of the St. John Ambulance Association and by a Joint Committee of the British Red Cross. Later, a branch of the same Committee was started to undertake the much-needed relief services in collaboration with the St. John Ambulance Association in aid of the soldiers as well as civilian sufferers of the horrors of that great war. A bill to constitute the Indian Red Cross Society, Independent of the British Red Cross, was introduced in the Indian Legislative Council on March 3, 1920, by Sir Claude Hill, member of the Viceroy’s Executive Council who was also Chairman of the Joint War Committee in India. The Bill was passed on March 17, 1920, and became Act XV of 1920 with the assent of the Governor General on March 20, 1920. On June 7, 1920, fifty members were formally nominated to constitute the Indian Red Cross Society and the first Managing Body was elected from among them with Sir William Malcolm Hailey as Chairman.
