The Railway Police Force (RPF) was established after the World War 2 to safeguard property as well as the passengers and goods on the trains.  This year was their 6oth Raising year and they were celebrating it for a week. On 26^th September 2016,  the last day they organised a medical camp and talks on various medical issues. MOHAN Foundation was invited to speak on Organ Donation.

Dr.  Hemal Kanvinde represented MOHAN Foundation.  Senior RPF Inspector Shri.  Karuppa Swamy welcomed the speakers and the audience.  He also mentioned the activities and the additional roles and responsibilities of the RPF.

The first talk was given by Chief Matron ICF Hospital,  Ms. Susheela on management of stress. Dr Hemal spoke on the concepts of organ donation. The need for organs, what can be donated, brain death and the legal procedure and the role of police in organ donation were some of the topics covered.
