Every day, countless lives are lost due to the lack of timely organ donations—lives that could have been saved with greater awareness and participation. The gap in organ donation awareness leads to many preventable deaths. To address this critical issue, the social organization Samvedna of Prestige Institute of Management and Research (PIMR) organized a special awareness session on World Organ Donation Day. The initiative aimed to educate the public, dispel misconceptions about organ donation, and inspire more people to become donors.

Dr. Jyoti Vyas Bajpai, the faculty coordinator of Samvedna, emphasized that during the event, Dr. Manish Purohit, the nodal officer for organ and tissue transplantation, delivered an insightful lecture. His talk focused on the importance of organ donation and debunked common myths that often deter people from becoming donors. Dr. Purohit’s session aimed to inspire a broader acceptance of organ donation, ultimately saving countless lives.

The event featured personal stories from several organ donors, who shared their experiences and the profound impact of their decision to donate. PIMR's Group Director, Dr. S.S. Bhaker, recognized and honored these donors in a heartfelt ceremony. Additionally, the faculty and staff members of PIMR took a collective oath to donate their organs, further demonstrating their commitment to this life-saving cause.

Davish Jain, Chairman of the Prestige Education Foundation, expressed the institution’s dedication to providing world-class education and fulfilling its social responsibilities.

He stated, "The primary objective of this event was to raise awareness about organ donation and eliminate the myths surrounding it, encouraging more people to become organ donors. By doing so, we can save the lives of those who are at risk due to a shortage of donated organs."

Through this initiative, the Prestige Education Foundation continues to play a vital role in shaping a more informed and compassionate society, Dr. Jain added.
