In a bid to spread awareness and encourage voluntary participation in organ donation, Sri Ramakrishna Hospital conducted an organ donation awareness program on Monday at the Central Training College – CRPF, Thudiyalur.

The event was part of the hospital’s ongoing campaign, ‘Gift Organs, Give Life’, a voluntary online organ donation drive launched in collaboration with the Transplant Authority of Tamil Nadu (TRANSTAN) and the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization (NOTTO).

Many attendees came forward to register as organ donors, demonstrating strong support for the cause.

Notable senior officials from the Central Training College who volunteered to donate included Langchinkhup, Inspector General of Police-cum-Principal; Antony Jenson, Commandant-cum-Chief Training Officer; Anas, Deputy Commandant; Deepthi Burle, Senior Medical Officer/Deputy Commandant; and Rathiga Mohan, Deputy Commandant/PPS.
