About Short Shots

Aavishkaar, Maharashtra’s biggest medical cultural fest, organised by Seth G.S. Medical College and K.E.M. Hospital presents, “Short Shots”, a short film competition. We kick off our first edition with “Organ and Tissue Donation” being the principle focus.

Short Film Competition

It goes without saying that organ transplantation is a major area of focus in recent times. We aim to shed light on cadaveric organ and tissue donation –its facts and myths wgich is still ignored and people are reluctant to donate. Thus, Aavishkaar and Narmada Kidney Foundation have collaborated to convey the message, stating the importance of organ donation. We attempt to create awareness about organ donation through the short film competition.

Organ Transplant

Narmada Kidney Foundation has been committed to spreading awareness and promote cadaveric organ and tissue transplantation to make differences in many lives. We are grateful to have Narmada Kidney Foundation on board to further our cause. With this joint effort, we aspire to inspire the youth to research, create and present their ideas.
