ROTARIAN LAL GOEL EXPRESSES DEEP ADMIRATION AND HEARTFELT GRATITUDE TO THE FAMILY OF EYE DONOR SHRI SURESH CHANDRA JAIN
Ghaziabad, 17 April 2026:
Rotarian Lal Goel, Founder & Charter President of the Rotary Club of Organ Donation International and Chairman of the Organ Donation India Foundation & GYAN, expressed profound admiration and heartfelt gratitude to the family of Late Shri Suresh Chandra Jain for honouring his noble wish of eye donation.
Earlier this morning, Rotarian Shreyansh Jain—Member of the Rotary Club of Organ Donation International and Former President of Sri Paras Dham Digamber Jain Mandir, Vaishali, Ghaziabad—reached out to inform that a close family friend had passed away, and his last wish was to donate his eyes. Despite their immediate efforts, initial attempts to secure support from an eye care provider did not materialise.
Responding without delay, Rotarian Lal Goel coordinated with Mr Roshan from Dr Shroff’s Charity Eye Hospital – Eye Bank. Thanks to their swift intervention, the corneas were successfully retrieved—ensuring that the donor’s final wish was fulfilled.
Shri Suresh Chandra Jain passed away peacefully in the early hours of 17 April 2026.
According to the family, his son Mr Sandeep Jain and daughter-in-law Ms Neeru Jain upheld his expressed wish for eye donation. In a moment of immense personal loss, their decision transformed grief into a powerful act of humanity—offering the gift of sight and a renewed future to others.
In his letter to the family, Rotarian Lal Goel wrote:
“In a moment of profound grief, you and your family demonstrated extraordinary courage and compassion by choosing to donate the eyes of your beloved father, Shri Suresh Chandra Jain. I express my deepest admiration and heartfelt gratitude for this noble act. Your decision reflects the highest spirit of humanity. Through this gift of light, Shri Jain will continue to illuminate lives, and his legacy will live on in the vision he has restored and the hope he has created.”
Concluding his message, he added:
“On behalf of our entire Rotary family—and on behalf of every life his generosity will touch—I bow my head in gratitude to you, your family, and to the sacred memory of Shri Suresh Chandra Jain.”
Rotarian Lal Goel emphasised that when families honour the final wishes of their loved ones, it can significantly bridge the gap in organ and tissue availability—bringing life, light, and hope to countless individuals.
