All the medical college is facing shortage of cadavers for research work and at present there are minimum bodies but it needs more so that research work could be conducted properly.

Eighty-five-year-old Sr Journalist Ram Kishan Sharma and 86-year-old Vimal Kumar Choudhary filled body donation forms, which were collected by health minister A A Khan, at a function organized by the Newspaper Association of India (NAI), Jaipur unit, in Shastri Nagar.

Earlier, only two persons decided to take pledge to donate their body but encouraged by their decision, one more person also decided to donate his body.

"After death, the soul departs and the body becomes unimportant. But, the body can be used for research work in the medical field and could save the life of many people," Sharma said after signing the form.

On the occasion, NAI officials said the health minister should make arrangements for collection of pledge forms from homes of people who decided to donate their bodies. NAI National general Secretary Vipin Gaur said, "Body donation is a noble decision. It doesn't look good that a person has to stand in queues in hospital to fill forms for donation of his body. We demanded from the minister that a team should be constituted which will go to the houses of people who want to donate their bodies to collect the forms in a dignified way and to honour them. The minister accepted our demand." and that great work start by Bhanwar singh ranawat who is Vice President of NAI Rajasthan State
