Why is World Blood Donor Day observed on 14th June?

14th June is the birthday of Austrian biologist and physician Karl Landsteiner, who is widely credited to be the founder of modern blood transfusion. He developed the modern system of classification of blood groups and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1930 for “his discovery of human blood groups.”
