On 27th Feb 2021, MOHAN Foundation in association with Transplants – Help the Poor Foundation was invited for setting up an information desk to give awareness about organ donation and signature drive themed “Organ Donation” at Gandhi Hall, Indore. The program was inaugurated by Padmashree Mr Bhalu Mondhe and Mr Kaushal (International Football Coach).
The information desk was manned by Ms Prarthana Dwivedi at the entrance of Gandhi Hall. All the arrangements and crowd management was supported by Adbhut Foundation of Indore who took this initiative to spread awareness among general public.
Ms Prarthana also held an awareness session later. She introduced MOHAN Foundation, then explained the concepts of organ and tissue donation, types of death viz. cardiac and brain death and the organs and tissues that can be donated.
