Rotarian Lal Goel Leads Nationwide Push to Boost Organ Donation Awareness in India | Global TV

A growing national movement to address India’s organ donation crisis is gaining momentum under the leadership of Rotarian Lal Goel, founder of the Rotary Club of Organ Donation International and chairman of the Organ Donation India Foundation.
In the latest weekly bulletin released by the organization, Rotarian Lal Goel issued a powerful Mother’s Day call to action, urging citizens to give back to mother by pledging their organs and prioritizing life saving donations for women in need. The campaign highlights a stark reality. Thousands of patients across India lose their lives each year not because treatment is unavailable, but due to a severe shortage of organ donors.
At the center of this effort is Organ Donation Warriors, a nationwide volunteer initiative conceptualized by Rotarian Lal Goel. The program aims to build a network of trained citizens who can spread awareness, challenge misconceptions, and encourage organ donation pledges across communities. “Every donor card signed is a promise to a mother you may never meet,” Rotarian Lal Goel emphasized in his message.
The movement, supported by healthcare professionals, volunteers, and media platforms, offers free training and is open to all individuals above 18 years of age. Its long-term vision is to create a more compassionate and informed society where organ donation becomes a shared social responsibility. Beyond advocacy, Rotarian Lal Goel’s message also challenges social attitudes, particularly the tendency to place mothers last in line for medical care within families. His appeal calls for a shift in mindset, urging people to prioritize those who have given life. Organ Donation Warriors should bridge the gap between need and availability, by creating awareness around them in all ways.
