Few questions asked by the students were:

1. Will organ donation happen after postmortem?
2. Like MOHAN Foundation do we have any government organisations for promoting this cause?
3. Are organs donated after natural death?

The donor cards were distributed to 10 students who were interested in organ donation. Dr. Ramesh, Asst Prof of Economics and NSS Coordinator concluded the program with his words of gratitude.  MOHAN Foundation thanks Mr. V. Madhan Kumar of  The Sacred Heart College who coordinated the session.
