In death, Sarang gives new lease of life to 6 persons

Thiruvananthapuram: Sixteen-year-old Sarang, who died while undergoing treatment following a road accident, gave new lease of life to six persons by organ donation.

Sarang, a student of Government Boys HSS Attingal scored A+ in all subjects in the SSLC examination. The result was announced by General Education Minister V Sivankutty on Friday.

His parents Bineesh Kumar and Rajanish agreed to donate the organs of their 16-year-old son.

Earlier on Friday, State's General Education Minister V Sivankutty also got emotional while he was 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.

"The class X student Sarang, who died in an accident in Thiruvananthapuram has secured full A plus grade for all subjects without grace marks," Sivankutty had said. He said that the family's decision to donate organs will encourage the society for social service.

Sarang was injured in an accident near Kunanthukonam bridge in Vadakkottukav on May 6, while he was travelling in an autorickshaw with his mother. (with Agency inputs)
