Awareness on organ donation

Mohali: Nearly 30 students from the Government College of Art, Sector 10, Chandigarh, gave finishing touches to their posters and sculptures to spread awareness about organ donation. The theme of their thought-provoking artwork “Why should you pledge your organs” has been adopted for this year by Fortis Organ Retrieval and Transplant (FORT), an initiative by Fortis Healthcare that offers 24-hour referral service for organ and tissue donation. The artworks were displayed at the hospital auditorium for a team of judges to decide the winners in each category. The first prize of Rs 6,100 in the poster-making competition was bagged by Rajesh Kumar. The second and third prizes went to Anjali Gaur and Anisha, respectively.  — TNS
