On July 8, 2025, MOHAN Foundation, Nagpur, was invited to participate in the 25th Anniversary Celebration of Republic Mahila Parishad, held on July 5, 2025, at the Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Convention Centre, Nagpur. The event marked the birth anniversary of Barrister Rajabhau Khobragade and brought together grassroots women leaders, social workers, and dignitaries from across Maharashtra and beyond.
As part of its outreach efforts, the MOHAN Foundation set up an Organ and Body Donation Awareness Desk at the venue. The desk was led by Mrs. Veena Wathore, Program Manager, MOHAN Foundation Nagpur, supported by Ms. Bhagyashree Nighot and Ms. Neha Sailwar. The objective was to raise awareness about organ and body donation, dispel myths, and encourage informed pledge-taking. Informational brochures, pledge forms, and one-on-one counselling sessions were offered to the attendees.
The desk received an encouraging response from over 360 participants, many of whom engaged in meaningful discussions with the Foundation’s representatives. As a result of the awareness efforts, around 10 individuals took the pledge to donate their organs or bodies, marking a positive step toward fostering a culture of donation and saving lives.
MOHAN Foundation extends heartfelt gratitude to Republic Mahila Parishad for providing a valuable platform to engage with a wider community and promote this noble cause. The collaboration significantly strengthened the Foundation’s mission to create informed communities and promote ethical organ and body donation practices.
