1. Title: Campaign for Organ donation among school children
2. Goal:
World Organ Donation day is celebrated on August 13th every year. It is reported that
almost 5 lakhs of the Indians every year die due to organ failure or damage due to various
reasons. The programme aims in providing awareness among the school children about
the relevance of organ donation.

etc. It is important that everyone should develop their mind and body for the better future
of the nation. A nation can grow strong inly when it is able to do every kind of work at
the right time in the right manner.
4. Practice:
The department of Statistics took initiation to conduct an awareness programme for the
school children of two nearby schools. PR William Higher Secondary School, Kattakada
and Govt. Higher Secondary School, Kulathummal were the schools selected for the
programme. An awareness was given to the children about the world organ donation day
and its relevance. There are a lot of people in the world who are eagerly waiting for the
right kind of organ for transplantation. The government has generated many organisations
that provide people with a lot of information on the needs of people suffering from organ
failure. The government is also organising many camps to get the people attention towards
the needy who requires organs to sustain their lives. It is very important for the donor to
first undergo a thorough check up his/her own body organ before transplanting it to the
IQAC Report 2016-2017 Page 54 other person who receives it. Various blood tests, X-rays and Sonography can determine
the soundness of the health of the donors organ. A form was distributed to the students
to state their willingness to donate their organs and which organ they wish to donate.
