The World Organ Donation Day is observed on 13th August worldwide and is focused on creating awareness among the public on the importance of donating organs. On Wednesday, 21st August, 2019 the IIIrd year BSW students of St. Joseph's College (Autonomous), Bengaluru, had organised an awareness programme in the College Campus on account of World Organ Donation Day. Students actively participated to create awareness on how different organs in the human body are important and why donation of organs is a noble act. It started out at the Arupe Block at 01:10 PM with a poster presentation on organs that can be possibly donated namely- eyes, liver, pancreas, kidney, bone marrow, lungs ,heart etc. Other students and faculty interacted with the students who presented the process and steps to register for donation of organs and also some interesting facts relating to organ donation. The posters also highlighted the various schemes and policies initiated by the government for the effective reduction of the cost of organ transplantation. The students also spoke about donating hair to cancer patients and encouraged other students observing the awareness programme to learn more about donation of organs and how to apply for it.
The students of IIIrd year BSW then went around the college campus speaking to different students from various backgrounds regarding the day and cause. There were different opinions regarding organ donation by the student community. Overall, the programme helped spread the importance of organ donation among students and faculty members of the college.
