Dear sir,
Kerala has become the second most accident-prone State in the country after Maharashtra according to study of National Transportation Planning and Research Centre (NATPAC). More than 1.2 million people are killed in Road Accidents, worldwide, every year. While the country perhaps topped in accidental deaths there were only a few who donated organs. The gap between the demand for organs and potential donors was rather large .According to the statistics about 4000 kidney transplants take place in a year whereas the demand is for a lakh. About 300 liver transplants take place whereas the demand is about a thousand a year. There are about 4000 brain death accidents happening in a year in Kerala alone but the frequency of cadaver donation is negligible.
In this situation santhi decide to play our role in this case. We are planning to give awareness to common people regarding organ donation after brain death or like that situations. We are decided the awareness propagated through a street drama and other programmed all over Kerala from April 15th to may 15th. We are sure with the support of our young civic-conscious citizens, we as a nation of 1.2 billion, should be able to cater to the needs of the millions waiting for new organs and a new life.
