The Madhya Pradesh government is going to honor those who donate organ donors and give the benefit of Ayushman Bharat Yojana to their family. In this, the family of the organ donation will get free treatment of up to five lakh rupees per year. A documentary of Rs 18 lakh is being made to increase awareness. State Argon and tissue transplant portal of the state is also being prepared. Director of Madhya Pradesh Medical Department, Dr. AK Srivastava informed that a decision will be made at the government level in this regard soon. Surely this decision will carry forward the tradition of Maharishi Dadhichi of India. This decision of the Madhya Pradesh government will inspire people to donate organ. By the way, the work that is going to do the work of Madhya Pradesh, should be implemented to every state. It is good that it is applicable from the Center. There is also a need to run an awareness campaign for this work. For this, people have to be encouraged and encouraged.
In India, more than five lakh people in India suffer from death due to lack of organs on time. According to government data, around two lakh people die due to lack of liver. Among these dying people are mostly people who cannot buy organs by paying money. Those with money ask for their minds and buy organs. This is why illegal trade of human organs is promoted. The number of organ donations among one million persons in India is 0.16 per year. This number is between 10 and 30 in developed countries such as America, Britain, Netherlands and Germany. The reasons for the reduction of this number in our country are lack of correct information, religious beliefs, cultural misconceptions and prejudice. In many countries, organ donation is mandatory rather than voluntary. It is not possible to do this in India, but this number can be increased by creating awareness.

There is superstition among people that if he is donated to the eyes of the dead person, he does not get heaven after death or in the next life he will be born without an eye or that organ, while removing the limbs from the body does not obstruct the traditional funeral action or burial activities. This also does not change the color of the body. By donating his organs as a valuable gift to the dead, their death can be made equal to life.
Nine people can get new life from the organ donation of a dead person. According to government data, 1,04999 men, women and children are still waiting in the national organ transplant waiting list and they will be able to live their lives. In the national organ transplant waiting list, only the needy person of the kidney alone is 88551. About one and a half million deaths in India are caused by road accidents every year. In the year 2022, 168491 died. This means an average of more than 1000 accidents on the roads and more than 400 people die.
First of all, the brain stops functioning completely, it is suitable for body organ donation. Nevertheless, barely two-three percent of lucky people get new organs. Heart, lungs, liver, kidney, intestine, pancreas are organs that can be donated by the families of the dead person. Eye cornea, bones, skin, vein, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, heart valves can also be useful for another person after death. A living person can donate some part of an entire kidney and liver. The remaining one kidney can lead to the life of a donor. The liver increases over time and returns to its old state again, so the donor does not have any kind of problem.
Indian culture is the ancient and great culture of the world. Donation, religion and high rites have been holding senior places in our society since ancient times. Maharishi Dadhichi put an example of the culmination of donations to the society. He is called the first Angadani of Indian culture. The war was going on in the deity and the demon! The demons were overshadowing the gods. The gods could not understand how to win in war. For this, he went to Brahma ji. Brahma Ji suggested that the demons can be defeated by the weapon made from Maharishi Dadhichi’s bones. The deity went to Maharishi Dadhichi. Prayed. The Vajra made of bones given by Maharishi Dadhichi caused the demon Brajasura. The demons were defeated.
People are not interested in this tradition of thousands of years old body donation and organ donation of Aryavrata. I remember that about 40 years ago, an employee was injured when a javelin was injured during a sports competition at the stadium in Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh. He needed blood. Even after being said, his family members did not give blood. Stadium players came forward to help him. The employee’s life was saved by giving their blood. It is good that now awareness about blood donation has increased, but there is no consciousness towards organ donation. There is also a shortage of doctors who induce organ donation. If the big and government hospital doctors start motivating the family of the deceased for organ donation, then a big job can be done.
However, health professionals usually feel strange to talk to the family of the deceased on the subject of organ donation. Liver transplant surgeon Dr. Sameran Nandi told DW at Sir Gangaram Hospital in New Delhi, “Doctors shy away from asking about donating the organs of the deceased, someone is not encouraged about it and there is also a fear of revenge action.” Even if people wishing to donate organ and organ, all hospitals do not have the necessary equipment or equipment required for all the processes related to organ transplantation.
Only 250 hospitals in India are registered with the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization (noto). This organization coordinates the country’s organ transplant program. That is, for every 43 lakh citizens in the country, there is only one hospital with all the facilities and equipment. Transplant centers are more or less in the rural areas of India. The process of organ donation is very beneficial, but the rapid growing of that should not be rapid, it has started to give an eye in the name of organ donation. This is also negligible. While the propagation of organ donation is very important for human welfare. Blood donation has definitely increased.
Organ donation day is celebrated every year on August 3. This important work is done in one day. While each moment needs to be induced for organ donation. Public awareness is needed for organ donation. Students should develop awareness for public awareness through school education. Like other campaigns, there is a need to campaign for organ donation. For this, various religious leaders should be contacted and requested to motivate their supporters for organ donation. Like Madhya Pradesh, there is also a need to provide benefits of government schemes like Ayushman Yojana to encourage them with organ donations.
By the way, many good slogans have emerged for organ donation recently. Even after dying, if you want to keep watching the beauty of the world, then donate your eyes. If you want to feel the heartbeat even after death, then donate the heart. Maharishi Dadhichi’s tradition of body donation can be carried forward and more people can be saved by making such more interesting slogans and slogans.
