Nearly 200 students participated in this programme. Mr. S. Venkatesh began with a Q and A session to gauge their understanding of the topic.

The session took place for more than 3 hours with more interaction with students and faculty.

  Everyone pledged to donate their organs and picked a donor card. They promised  to take this message to their families and friends. As Transplant Coordinator I thank to college Principal and Faculty, the organizing team and all the students who participated in the program.
