IRCS STATE/UT Branches

The State/Union Territory branches broadly follow a similar governance structure as that of the national level, but the Chairperson is elected by the respective Managing Committee. The Hon’ble Governor of the State or the Lieutenant Governor/Administrator of the Union Territories, as the case may be, is the President of the respective State/Union Territory Red Cross branch. Similarly, at the District branch level, the District Collector/Deputy Commissioner/District Magistrate as the case may be, is the President of the District branch. The branches are governed by the Indian Red Cross Society Branch Committees Rules, 2017
