She also discussed the various barriers, myths and facts relating to organ donation.

A lot of queries were asked regarding the process of organ donation as well as the process of registration on the waiting list. Mr.Amit Shenoy and Mrs.Jaya Jairam answered all the queries.
Quite a few among the audience took the pledge to donate their organs while some picked up forms for further signups after consulting their loved ones.
