On January 30, 2026, MOHAN Foundation, Nagpur, conducted an organ donation awareness session at the NSS Camp of Sewadal Mahila Mahavidyalaya, Nagpur, with the objective of sensitizing students about organ donation and transplantation and motivating them to spread awareness within the community.
On behalf of MOHAN Foundation, Ms. Neha Sailwar and Mr. Dhiraj Kurve facilitated the session. The programme was structured to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of organ donation and the vital role of counselling and coordination in the donation process.
At the beginning of the session, Ms. Neha Sailwar introduced MOHAN Foundation and shared information about the history, objectives, and Pan-India work of the organization. She then explained key concepts such as what death is, the difference between circulatory death and brain stem death, what organ donation is, and whether organ donation is legal or not. She also provided information on how patients can register on the waiting list and briefly explained Anudaan, the Foundation’s financial assistance initiative.
Following this, Mr. Dhiraj Kurve took the lead and shared insights into how to approach and support donor families, detailing the counselling process and the challenges faced during counselling.
