To commemorate Karnataka Rajyotsava (Karnataka Formation Day), a Blood, Organ & Body donation camp was organized at Ujjivan’s corporate office in Bangalore, on 2nd November 2011.

There are millions of needy patients all over the world who suffer from various end stage organ failures and whose lives can be saved only by the timely replacement of the failed organ.

There are only few acts in life that are nobler than donating our organs after our death.

In India, organ and body donation still remains a distant reality. It is a formidable obstacle in the minds of potential donors and their relatives and friends, so it was indeed touching to see a large number of staff members and their colleagues come forward and pledge their eyes for the visually challenged while many also pledged to donate their bodies to the scientific community for research.

As one of the donors said, “Donating our eyes after we are gone from this world is the closest that we can come to giving life to another individual. Eye donation is a wonderful legacy we can leave behind”.

Huge thanks to all who came forward to donate, and to all who registered to donate their organs and bodies.

Special thanks to the Ujjivan’s admin team and to Parinaam Foundation for conceptualizing and organizing this event.
