Posted • BR Sarang, a Class 10 topper who died in a road accident before the declaration of results in Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram, has donated his organs and saved the lives of six patients. His parents, Bineesh Kumar, and Rajanish, agreed to donate the organs of their 16-year-old son.
Sarang, a student of Government Boys HSS, Attingal, died while undergoing treatment for injuries sustained in an accident on May 13. He passed away on Wednesday (May 17) morning before the SSLC results were announced, in which he secured a complete A+.
Earlier Friday, State's General Education Minister V Sivankutty was emotional while announcing SSLC results at a press conference. During the press briefing, the minister broke down in tears when he mentioned that the top grade was scored by Sarang, who recently died in an accident. He said that the family's decision to donate organs will encourage the society for social service. Health Minister Veena George, in a Facebook post, said he donated two kidneys, the liver, the heart valve, and two corneas.
