ROTARIAN LAL GOEL HOSTS BRAINSTORMING SESSION WITH USA ROTARIANS TO ADVANCE ORGAN DONATION INITIATIVES IN INDIA
Mumbai, December 6, 2025 – Rotarian Lal Goel, Founder and Charter President of the Rotary Club of Organ Donation International and Chairman of the Organ Donation India Foundation & GYAN, convened a strategic brainstorming session with Rotarians Sunil and Regina Gupta from the United States to explore collaborative initiatives aimed at strengthening organ donation efforts in India.
Rotarians Sunil and Regina Gupta, dedicated members of the Rotary Club of Organ Donation International, travelled to India with a mission to better understand the country’s organ donation landscape. Their commitment to the cause is deeply personal—Sunil Gupta is a kidney transplant recipient, and his wife, Rotarian Regina Gupta, was his living kidney donor.
During the session, Rotarian Lal Goel shared key insights into the challenges and opportunities within India’s organ donation system. He also discussed the potential establishment of Mobile Organ Retrieval Centres, a visionary project designed to expand access to life-saving organs across the nation. The visiting Rotarians expressed keen interest in contributing to this initiative and supporting its implementation.
The Guptas have pledged to return to India in February 2026 to work closely with Rotarian Lal Goel in conducting organ donation awareness campaigns across colleges, hospitals, and community platforms.
Expressing heartfelt appreciation for their commitment, Rotarian Lal Goel presented the couple with Rotary Club flags and acknowledged their unwavering dedication to saving lives. He emphasised that such international collaborations strengthen India’s mission to reduce the number of patients waiting for critical organ transplants and bring hope to thousands of families.
