The session, expertly led by Project Manager Mr. Venkatesh Kattela, utilized a dynamic and engaging PowerPoint (PPT) presentation. The presentation was strategically integrated into the school schedule to ensure minimal disruption to academic activities.

The initiative was met with enthusiastic participation, captivating over 135 students and faculty members spanning grades 6 to 10.

The comprehensive discussion was tailored to a school audience, covering foundational aspects of organ donation, including:

• The definition and various types of organ donation.
• The life-saving difference between brain death and cardiac arrest.
• The critical need for organ donors in India.
