Organ Donation Awareness Information Desk at Dikshabhumi, Nagpur

On October 1, 2025, the eve of DhammachakraPravartan Din and Dussehra, MOHAN Foundation

set up an Organ Donation Awareness Information Desk at Dikshabhumi, Nagpur. Informational

brochures titled “Gift of Life” were distributed to visitors to promote awareness about organ and

tissue donation.

Dikshabhumi holds great historical and spiritual significance as the sacred site where Bharat Ratna

Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, along with his followers, embraced Buddhism on October 14, 1956 — an

event that coincided with Dussehra (Vijayadashami). Today, DhammachakraPravartan Din is

often celebrated in conjunction with the Dussehra festival, also known as Ashoka Vijayadashami,

symbolizing the triumph of good over evil and the awakening of enlightenment.

The information desk was managed by Ms. Neha Sailwar, Program Executive, and Ms. Veena

Wathore, Project Manager, MOHAN Foundation. The initiative received an encouraging response

from visitors and devotees by distributing nearly 300 brochures.

MOHAN Foundation extended heartfelt gratitude to the ONGC team for their collaboration and

support in making this organ donation awareness initiative a success.
