The Lieutenant Governor\u00a0has\u00a0asked people to pledge\u00a0that they will donate their organs\u00a0after death. This is a reminder of the greatest gift one human being can give to another \u2014 life itself. The numbers are sad. In India, lakhs of patients are waiting for organ transplants. They need kidneys, livers, and eyes. But very few people come forward to donate. Why?\u00a0Because of\u00a0a lack of awareness, wrong beliefs, and fear. Each one of us holds the extraordinary power to save lives even after we are gone. Think about that. One person can save many lives after death. A kidney patient gets another chance. A blind person sees again. A burn victim gets healthy skin. The government organised an event called ‘Naman Diwas’ to honour donors and their families. For too long, the families of donors have grieved in silence, unaware that their loved one\u2019s passing could bring joy and vision to multiple others. By publicly celebrating their sacrifice, the government sends a powerful message: organ donation is not a taboo but a legacy of compassion. It tells people that organ donation is not a shameful thing. It is a beautiful legacy. The LG\u2019s own example \u2013 registering as an organ donor on the Ayushman Bharat portal \u2013 is leadership by example. When a leader does this, it becomes normal for others to follow. He also cleared a big confusion \u2014 that all religions respect organ donation. Giving selflessly is a virtue in every faith. The State Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (SOTTO) in Jammu and Kashmir is doing good work. They run campaigns, partner with hospitals, and train doctors. Every citizen must spread this message \u2014 in schools, colleges, offices, and neighbourhoods. Every eye donor brings sight back to someone. Imagine the joy of seeing your child’s face again. Every kidney donor gives someone a second chance to work, love, and dream. These are not just medical procedures. These are miracles. So let us listen to the LG’s appeal. Let us take the pledge today. Organ donors are not just heroes. They are what is best in humanity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
