The history of photography is very old, but the history of photography's relationship with the media is also not new now. Today's media is incomplete without photos or videos. During this duty of camera with the media, journalists faced dangers many times, but journalists accepted these challenges even by risking their lives. Remembering this period of life related to the camera, photo-journalists also organized a medical checkup camp and also donated blood. It is important to mention here once again that all this was done in connection with World Photography Day.

Chandigarh Photographers Association, Manav Kalyan Parisar, Evoke Builder and Kumar Brothers and Unimark Pharma India Limited jointly organized a blood donation and medical checkup camp at the Community Center in Sector 22, Chandigarh dedicated to World Photography Day. On this occasion, Councilor of Ward No. 22 Anju Katyal and Councilor of Ward No. 17 Damanpreet Singh attended as special guests. Association President Gurcharan Singh and all the members donated blood in the camp and called upon the people to come forward for this work.

All the photographers present on this occasion shared their experiences while sharing their views about World Photography Day. All the blood donors were appreciated by the guests who reached the camp and other people were also asked to contribute in social service. Association President Gurcharan Singh and Chairman Naresh Sharma honored all the blood donors and presented mementos to the dignitaries. On this occasion, people were examined by specialist doctors of Medicine, Orthopedics, Skin, ENT, Homeopathy, Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Acupressure, Gynecology and Physiotherapy and free medicines were given as per the need. On this occasion, all the members of Chandigarh Photographers Association and Manav Kalyan Parisar as well as photographers associated with various organizations also participated.

It is worth noting that World Photography Day is celebrated every year on 19 August. The purpose of this day is to honor the art and science of photography and appreciate the contribution of photographers. The celebration of this day started with an important announcement made by France in 1839, when they shared the Daguerreotype process with the world, which was the first practical method of photography.

Photography is not only a medium of art, but it is also a way to cherish historical and personal moments. In today's time, the development of digital photography has made it more accessible, making it more popular.
