Abstract: This study was conducted to determine the distribution of ABO& Rh Blood groups in western U.P, India as no data is available from this region.

This study will help in planning and establishment of functional blood bank services that would meet the ever-increasing demand for safe blood and blood products.

It was conducted on 6000 blood donors over a period of four years from Jan 2008 to Jan 2012. at the School of Medical sciences & research, Sharda Hospital, Sharda university, Greater Noida.

The donors were both males & females which included both voluntary & replacement donors. The results were analyzed and the data was compiled. Our study which involved 6000 donors, both male and female, showed' B' blood group type to be the most common, viz., 1964 (32.73%) donors, followed by the 'O' blood group which had 1856 (30.93%) donors, 'A 'blood group 1349 (22.48 % ) and 'AB 429 (7.15 %) donors being the least common which shows that it follows the Asiatic trend of B > O > A > AB.

Rh-D blood group frequency was 93.310% positive and 6.69% negative.
