It was the first time that a school had organised a session for non teaching staff.

In both sessions the  concepts  and process of organ donation was explained clearly with examples to make it more real for the students.  Mr. Abhinav told stories of young donors and made a deep impact on the non teaching staff and on the students. At the end the  participants cleared their doubts regarding organ donation.
