Abstract
Cadaveric organ donation in India, although started long back; its present status is not favourable. The percentage gain is very slow in comparison to most of the country even after having proper legislation. There are many reasons for this, lack of awareness being the most common. Most of the people does not know the concept of brain death. Although government and many NGOs are attached with it and are trying their level best to communicate with people for this noble cause, they have not yet reached the expected goal.To boost up the process of cadaveric organ donation, the hospitals and their staff including doctors must play a vital role. Hence, knowledge and orientation of such potential group is important for further processing because in most of the hospitals even doctors are not well-informed about the legal and ethical aspects of organ donation. If all the weak locus are addressed properly, we can definitely achieve the goals within a short span of time.
