Abstract
Many Mythological tales are present which set an example of organ donation and transplant in ancient India. In ancient times physicians and surgeons like Charak and Sushruta were present who made the organ transplant especially plastic surgery possible. With the surge of time, scientific discoveries and innovations made the first Kidney transplant possible in 1954. In India various organizations are working for organ donation and transplant and various innovative ideas are brought into practice to make people aware of the need of organ transplant. Its basic aim is to save someone's life by proper guidance and give courage to the family members of the brain dead patient. The success of organ donation and transplant depends upon good counselling and coordination by the transplant team of the hospitals.
