India has recorded more than 5 lakh organ donation pledges, reflecting the growing awareness, compassion and collective commitment of citizens towards the life-saving cause of organ and tissue donation.
The achievement underscores the increasing public recognition of organ donation as a profound act of humanity that offers hope and a second chance at life to patients awaiting transplantation.
On the occasion, Dr. Anil Kumar, Director, National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization (NOTTO), acknowledged the valuable contributions of governmental and non-governmental organisations, healthcare professionals, educational institutions, media organisations and other partners who have played a pivotal role in disseminating awareness and mobilising public support. He also commended the efforts of all State Governments and Union Territory Administrations for their continued commitment and cooperation in achieving this milestone.
The Government of India remains steadfast in its commitment to bridging the gap between the demand and availability of organs and tissues through sustained awareness generation, enhanced institutional capacities and strengthened transplantation systems. Efforts continue to focus on ensuring that organ transplantation practices across the country remain ethical, equitable, transparent and patient-centric.
The Aadhaar-based organ donation pledge registration portal, notto.abdm.gov.in, has significantly streamlined the registration process by making it more accessible, secure and transparent. The platform has enabled citizens across the country to conveniently register their pledge, strengthening public participation and reinforcing trust in the organ donation ecosystem.
This landmark achievement represents an important step towards addressing the growing need for organs and tissues for transplantation and reflects the success of collaborative efforts undertaken by the Government.
