Internship by Ms. Lakshya Leo G (B.Com LL.B (Hons.)), National Law University, Tiruchirappalli.


The prospects that a law student would have in a non governmental organisation, working on promotion of organ transplantation and donation, was ambiguous to me and my family when I joined as a legal intern at MOHAN Foundation. However, I was made to understand that it is a great opportunity ever since I understood how much legal issues must be looked into and resolved in this area of law. Unlike other areas of law that have been under constant scrutiny, the laws dealing with organ transplantation and donations had a lot of scope for development, only giving me more prospects to contribute greatly.

My time with MOHAN foundation was limited to a period of one month, but what I learned cannot be defined by this figure. Not only did the internship help me gain confidence by presenting, but also helped me get a clear picture of the laws governing Organ donation in India. The amount of information I gained by researching for the projects I was given, helped making me a more knowledgeable person who can share their knowledge with others with confidence. Read More

Internship by Mr. Raghul Ravindranathan, Chennai.


I came into MOHAN Foundation essentially a stranger, a 16 year old American kid interning in Chennai. As a high school student from America, I can say that students do not typically go overseas to complete summer internships and instead choose to stay within the country doing summer programs or observing professors. However, doing an internship at MOHAN Foundation and going overseas unlike most of my peers was easily one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I got to work alongside a brilliant staff here, all of whom were extremely welcoming and I became close friends with them easily. Read More

The two months internship program at MOHAN Foundation was a great experience which helped to gain a good exposure in the field of Organ Donation.

I still remember the first day when I stepped into this organization with complete nervousness and hesitation, this being my first work atmosphere.

I was just randomly applying for my academic internships in online, it’s always been my dream to work for social cause and so the internship in MOHAN Foundation interested me. The first three days in MOHAN Foundation was like boring because they asked me to read and learn about organ donation concepts. You know reading about topics which is totally unrelated to you will really bore you and that’s what happened to me. But when I went for my first campaign to NSS camp in Kanchipuram and explaining the concepts of organ donation and its importance, got my involvement in this internship job. Read More

Internship by Mr. Atul Sagaya Dorai Prem, Xavier Institute of Management & Entrepreneurship, Chennai


There is no doubt that MOHAN Foundation is one of the best NGOs in India which works for Organ donation awareness. For the past twenty days with them, I experienced on how even small things could be done professionally. Bureaucracy is minimum and ambitious youngsters would love to work and grow with it.

Internship by Ms. Anjali Aryamvally, B.Tech, Genetic Engineering, SRM University, Chennai


When I decided to intern with MOHAN Foundation, my support for the cause of organ donation was the only reason. My internship at MF has allowed me to meet people from all walks of life with a strong commitment towards the work that they do. The three months that I spent here was not just knowledgeable but I was also able to witness the extensive amount of work that goes behind making organ donation more acceptable among the public. Today, I not only support the cause but understand the importance of organ donation in today's day and time.

I would like to thank the entire team at MOHAN Foundation for all their help, warmth and support. I came as a stranger but I leave as a member of the MOHAN Foundation family.

Internship by Ms. Karen De Looze from Brussels University, Belgium


I first met Dr. Shroff of MOHAN Foundation in April 2009. I found my way to the office after having explored the entire MOHAN Foundation website that left a big impression on me. I was received with the best of hospitality, and together we looked at ways to cooperate.

Since I am a PhD researcher working for Brussels University working on the topic of brain death and cadaveric organ transfer in India, linking up with MOHAN Foundation just seemed like the right thing to do. Not just did it seem so, it was! The atmosphere at MOHAN Foundation is very gentle and light, notwithstanding the fact that the employees are performing one of the most difficult jobs with great enthusiasm investing all manpower with grace.Read More

Organ donation in India - Impressions from Mieke van Kollenburg, Holland


I am a Dutch student in Health information. On the 18th of May, I stepped into a plane full of Indians, leaving for Hyderabad to work in MOHAN Foundation for a period of four months. This internship would constitute the last part of my study. Now, almost at the end of my stay here, I have the feeling that I know the organ donation world in India almost from top to toe.

In the past months, I have been participating in all of MOHAN Foundation’s activities, like giving presentations, distributing information brochures, creating awareness in street campaigns, etcetera. At the same time, I interviewed all kinds of people that are involved in organ donation, like transplant coordinators and patients that received an organ themselves. Furthermore I did a small survey on the awareness on organ donation among the public.Read More

Internship by Ms. Nora Pernesch, M.Sc (Human Security), Aarhus University, Denmark


My time here at MOHAN Foundation really was an invaluable experience in many aspects. As part of my master studies in Human Security I came here as a research intern on the topic of public trust in organ donation. What seemed to be a just a study internship turned out to be so much more. The people here at the foundation are really supportive and open-minded. In the beginning of course the Indian way of working and doing things can be quite challenging but with time I learned to go with the flow and would even say that my way of approaching things might have changed a little. Coming to India one simply has to be open to let go of his or her customs of organizing things and embrace flexibility. It will definitely pay out and I enjoyed the independence that I was given in pursuing my study.Read More
