Flash Mob

Metro Stations and Irrum Manzil Mall, Hyderabad

On July 16, 2022, MOHAN Foundation in association with Kosmic Dance School and Ultimate Sound Pro conducted a series of flash mob at the metro rail stations in Hyderabad to sensitise the masses on organ donation. The dancers were between the age of 9 and 20 years who kept the audience hooked with their moves. This was the first time that such a event was performed at three metro rail stations where the dancers performed flash mob at a particular station and boarded the metro train to perform at the next metro station. This unique effort made the event a “Iconic” and “first-of-its-kind” in the state of Telangana. The event was culminated with a final performance at the Irrum Manzil Mall. Close to 2,000 people were sensitised through this effort and about 1500 people pledged to donate their organs and tissues.
