Confederation of Indian Indusrty(CII) Trichy Zone, Young Indians(Yi) Trichy Chapter and Kauvery Hospital organised a flagship event in Trichy. The TRICHY MARATHON 2016 on Sunday, 25th September 2016 in order to create awareness among the public on “Organ Donation”. The mega event that created a huge public impact and attracted formidable media attention. As we take up a cause in the social sphere every year, this year we have chosen the noble cause of Organ Donation. Organ donation is a generous and worthwhile decision that can save many lives. By donating, each person can save the lives of up to 7 individuals. Nationally, with a population of 1.2 billion people, the statistic stands at 0.08 persons as organ donors per million populations (PMP). This is an incredibly small and insignificant number compared to the statistics around the world.
In order to promote awareness and willingness on Organ Donation, CII, Yi Trichy and Kauvery Hospital are organizing a flagship event in Trichy with the specific objectives,
?To unite the people of Trichy across class & segments towards a common cause
