Inmates of Vadodara central jail serving life sentences for murder have decided to donate their eyes. On March 31, they signed the eye donation form and created history. The youngest donor, 23 year old, Pinto says “there is no life for us while we are living, we want to live after death. Take everything i have and save people. Even peel off the skin of my body if it is of some help to others”. He has donated his body. Laloo a 28 year old inmate started the chain reaction among the inmates by taking the first step and signing the eye donation form.
