The
Department of Biochemistry, St. Joseph's College for Women (Autonomous),
Visakhapatnam, actively participated in the Organ Donation Awareness Programme
organized by SPECT on 3 August 2026. Faculty members Dr. P. Mary Anupama and
Dr. Mousami Shankar, along with students Jones, Madhavi, Subhasree, Anishma,
Bhargavi, and Trishitha, took part in the awareness rally.
The
rally commenced from the Mahatma Gandhi Statue opposite GVMC and concluded at
the Central Library, Visakhapatnam. During the march, the participants carried
placards and interacted with the public, creating awareness about the
importance of organ donation and encouraging people to pledge their organs to
save lives.
To
extend the impact of the campaign within the institution, the students also
designed and displayed an informative wall journal in the college, highlighting
the significance, benefits, and myths associated with organ donation. The
programme strengthened the students' sense of social responsibility and
reinforced the Department of Biochemistry's commitment to community service,
health education, and public awareness initiatives.
