Deep routed misconceptions need to be eradicated which is possible through socio-economic and cognitive development of the population. Police department are no longer reliable source of cadavers. NGO's, body donation societies, charitable trust, regional local bodies, etc. are working towards creating awareness with little success. Requisite and pertinent revision in policies of state government is needed to integrate body donation concept in public health services. This article reviews the existing situation of cadaver availability and struggle in procurement of cadavers in several regions of India.
