Mr. Balaji gave an Awareness on Organ Donation to the staff (20) working in the petrol bunk and explain about  who can donate and how donation happens as well about brain death and registration of a pledge. All the staff and manager picked a donor card and registered as a donor.

Then, Mr. Balaji set up the information/registration desk. Many people visited the information desk and 122 people registered as organ donors.
