Pune: Rotarian Lal Goel, Founder & Charter President of the Rotary Club of Organ Donation International and Chairman of the Organ Donation India Foundation & GYAN, conveyed his deepest admiration and heartfelt gratitude to Mr Santosh Kumar Kansal, husband of Mrs. Indira Rani Kansal, for honouring his wife’s noble wish of organ donation.
Mrs. Indira Rani Kansal, aged 77, was declared brain-dead at Manipal Hospital, Pune. In an extraordinary act of humanity, her family consented to donate her organs — kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, heart, and eye corneas — thereby giving the gift of life to multiple recipients. As per hospital sources, her kidneys and liver have already been successfully transplanted through the government waitlist system, saving three lives.
According to family members, Mrs. Kansal had long expressed her desire that her organs should help those in need after her passing. Despite their immense grief, the family chose to honour her final wish, transforming their personal loss into hope for several others.
Rotarian Lal Goel, who was informed of this noble act by Rotarian Deepak Goel — a close associate of the Kansal family and Foundation Chair of the Rotary Club of Organ Donation International — immediately reached out to Mr Kansal to offer his condolences and appreciation.
In his letter, Rotarian Lal Goel wrote:
“I can say with conviction that your family’s decision reflects the highest spirit of humanity and generosity. Through this gift of life, Mrs. Kansal will continue to bring hope to those struggling to survive. Her legacy will live on — not only in your cherished memories, but also in the lives she has saved and transformed. This selfless act stands as a powerful example for society and a truly noble tribute to her life.”
He further expressed hope that such inspiring acts would encourage more families across the country to come forward for organ and tissue donation, helping bridge the critical gap between demand and availability.
Concluding his message, Rotarian Lal Goel wrote:
“On behalf of our entire Rotary family, and on behalf of every life that her generosity will touch, I bow my head in reverence to you, your family, and to the sacred memory of Mrs. Kansal.”
