A Milestone Achievement:

We are thrilled to share our first big victory! For the first time, the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization (NOTTO) has issued a directive to every state in India to commemorate Organ Donors Day with a special gesture. The central government will now provide ₹10,000 towards the dignified funeral expenses of every cadaver donor. Moreover, a state-level honor will be extended to each deceased organ donor's nearest relative by an officer from SOTTO  presenting a shawl, certificate, and flowers in recognition of their noble contribution. See the Director's letter on NOTTO's website. blob:https://www.change.org/3101d60f-7cd6-42b1-b69f-02875d0119d2 released on 6 August with their Annual Report 2023-24.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Mr. J.P. Nadda, Union Health Minister of India, and Dr. Anil Kumar, Director General Health Services, (Ministry of Health & Family Welfare) NOTTO, for responding to the heartfelt request of this group of organ transplant recipients and organ donors from across India. This beautiful gesture marks a proud moment for us all, and we express our deepest gratitude to every petitioner for their unwavering support. Together, we are making a difference!
