Introduction
In India the awareness on organ donation is very less
but the need of organ is very much higher.
It is estimated that in India every year over 100,000
people are diagnosed to have kidney failure and
would be needing a transplantation.
Due to non-availability of organs only about 2,500
kidney transplants are done.
The same thing happens for eye and other organ
donations as well.

to help someone else who needs a
