On Saturday 2nd November, at the eve of Jalaram Jyanti over 450 attended a presentation delivered by Mr Kirit Modi chairman of Jain and Hindu Organ Donation Steering Group (JHOD) about the details of the change in law on Organ Donation in England.
He enlisted the reasons for the change and how the Hindu community can help save lives by registering to become organ donors.
“I say Ang Daan (Organ Donation) is a part of Seva in which every Hindu should participate. May I urge all Hindus to the call for organ donation? Come join us in this service to mankind,” said Pramod Thakkar, Chairman of the trust board of Jalaram Charitable Trust.
Around a 1000 people of Asian background are waiting for an organ transplant in the UK and in 2018/19 there were 56 organ donors after death and 83 living kidney donors in the UK some of whom in Leicester were inspired by devotees of Jalaram Bapa.
Jalaram Charitable Trust has secured funding from NHSBT recently to continue its excellent work on organ donation under its slogan “Jalaram Bapa leads the way on Hindu Organ Donation” and a number of events will take place over the next 12 months.
