People are well aware of the activities of Ganadarpan related to science-society interface. We are happy to announce that ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION CO-ORDINATION CENTRE (OTCOCEN) set sail on 5th November 2004 through the efforts of Ganadarpan along with Susrut Eye Foundation & Research Centre, and in collaboration with the Government of West Bengal. Ganadarpan has been consistent in its campaign for making modern medical facilities available to the people and inculcating scientific temperament.

It may be noted here that first fifty years of 21st century, an important area in medical treatment will be of transplantation/grafting of organs & tissues retrieved from a heart beating, brainstem death donated cadaver.

Ganadarpan aspires at providing facilities for transplantation of organs at an affordable rate and even at no cost to the poor and needy at OTCOCEN. Such a serious social mission would remain a dream without adequate flow of funds, at least to the tune of Rupees one crore. Financial issues are already under discussion with the Govt. of West Bengal. A budget containing costs, expenditure, income etc for the three following years have been carefully prepared and submitted to the concerned authorities.

Ganadarpan looks forward to its friends and well-wishers for active and generous support. We are hopeful that friends living outside India will also agree to extend their help towards this noble cause.

The donations made to Ganadarpan are exempted from Income Tax U/S 80G.of IT Act. Those who wish to issue cheques may do so in the name of GANADARPAN (A/C OTCOCEN).
