On November 16, 2025 - a highly successful organ donation awareness session was conducted at the Sistakaranam Welfare Association in BHEL, Government Junior College Grounds, Hyderabad. The event focused on educating and engaging members of the local community and welfare association.

The program was anchored by Project Manager Mr. Venkatesh Kattela, who managed an interactive organ donation stall set up from morning to afternoon. The stall served as a continuous point of information, addressing initial queries and distributing literature.

The dedicated awareness session featured Transplant Coordinator Mr. Bhanu Prakash, who delivered an engaging talk on the critical aspects of organ donation. The session was very well-received, with an attendance of around 300 members.

The discussion successfully clarified participants' doubts about organ donation by covering all essential topics:

• The essential distinction between brain death and cardiac arrest.
• The significance of carrying a donor card.
• The procedural aspects of the consent process.

The organizer, Mr. Naresh Patnaik, appreciated the efforts of MOHAN Foundation and personally pledged his organs, encouraging others to do the same.
