I am grateful to all the healthcare professionals who have come together in this vital screening and awareness initiative.”

Mr. Rohit Manro, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Lupin, expressed his appreciation, saying, “Hypertension is often referred to as a silent killer, and it is imperative that we tackle it head-on. We are thankful to the ISH and WHL specifically Southeast Asia team for collaborating with Lupin Limited on this essential initiative. Our heartfelt thanks also go out to the healthcare professionals for their invaluable contribution to the success of this campaign.”

New Delhi [India], May 25: Dr. Krishna Kumar Mourya is working in the Animal Husbandry Department of Rajasthan Government on the post of Assistant Director. He has been selflessly working for cow service for the last 20 years. Till now, he has set a world record by conducting post mortem of more than 3000 cows.

Whatever post-mortem he has done, he has done it completely free of cost. He found in his post-mortem report that the main reason for the death of these cows is the polythene bags stored in their  Rumen (largest chamber of stomach), which we unknowingly throw in the garbage after putting food items in them, which the cows eat. They eat it considering it to be a thing. He has also written letters to the government from time to time to save cows from untimely death.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 26: In a remarkable display of determination and advocacy, Vinod Vishwakarma, a motorcycle mechanic turned organ donation advocate, is gearing up for an extraordinary journey. Embarking from the heart of Mumbai, Andheri, Vinod will ride his motorbike a staggering 2000 kilometers all the way to Nepal, spreading awareness about kidney disease and the critical need for organ donation along the way.

Vinod’s journey is deeply personal. In 2010, he faced a life-altering diagnosis: kidney failure. Like many, he had overlooked the subtle signs of the disease until it reached a critical stage. With the compassionate guidance of the Narmada Kidney Foundation, Vinod underwent a kidney transplant, marking a turning point in his life. Grateful for his second chance, Vinod became an active member of the foundation, dedicating himself to raising awareness about kidney health and organ donation.

Driven by a passion to make a difference, Vinod has participated tirelessly in the foundation’s organ donation awareness activities. Now, he’s taking his advocacy to the next level with his epic motorcycle journey. Setting off from the Narmada Kidney Foundation office in Andheri, Vinod aims to ignite conversations about kidney disease and organ donation as he travels through cities and towns en route to Nepal.

Dr. Mita Shah, Consultant Diabetologist at Global Hospital & Anil Clinic and Trustee of the Narmada Kidney Foundation, commends Vinod’s spirit, describing him as a true artist who sees the road as his canvas and his bike as a brush. Vinod’s journey symbolises resilience, freedom, and the transformative power of organ donation.

Established in 1993, the Narmada Kidney Foundation has been at the forefront of kidney disease awareness and support. Recognising the alarming rise in chronic kidney disease cases, the foundation strives to educate individuals about kidney health, provide guidance to patients, and promote organ donation to facilitate life-saving transplants.

Obesity, diabetes, and hypertension stand as major contributors to kidney disease and cardiovascular complications. By advocating for healthy lifestyle choices and preventive measures, the foundation aims to stem the tide of kidney disease incidence and improve overall public health.

Dr. Bharat V Shah, Director of the Institute of Renal Sciences at Gleneagles Hospital and Managing Trustee of the Narmada Kidney Foundation, emphasises the importance of prevention in tackling kidney disease. He echoes the sentiment that by focusing on preventive measures, a significant portion of kidney failures can be averted.

The foundation’s initiatives extend beyond awareness campaigns to include practical support for patients and families. From organising events like Organ Donors’ Day and the National Transplant Games to offering subsidized medicines, vaccines, and post-transplant care, the foundation strives to make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by kidney disease.

As Vinod embarks on his journey, he hopes to inspire others to join the cause. Through his perseverance and advocacy, he aims to shed light on the critical need for organ donors and empower individuals to make a life-saving decision by pledging to donate their organs after death.

Narmada Kidney Foundation echoes this call to action, urging individuals to pledge their organs and become part of the solution. With a simplified process facilitated by the Indian government’s initiative and the foundation’s own resources, everyone has the opportunity to make a profound impact on the lives of those in need.

To pledge your organs after death, visit the Indian Government’s website or the Narmada Kidney Foundation’s website to take the pledge and receive your certificate. Together, let’s ride towards a future where kidney disease is preventable, and every person in need has hope for a healthier tomorrow.

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], February 6: Modi Charitable Trust, under the leadership of real estate developer and philanthropist Suketa Modi, undertook a heartwarming initiative to bring joy to specially-abled children and to further the cause of equality.

The trust hosted a gala dinner for 30 specially-abled children at the upscale K’s Charcoal cafe on Saturday. The atmosphere was extraordinary as the children were treated to a sumptuous meal, fun activities, and an overall experience of being esteemed guests. To reinforce the values of equality and inclusion, the trust also invited 20 other guests, including real estate developers, influencers and professionals, who interacted with the children, participated in fun activities with them, and contributed to making the event truly special for each child.

Suketu Modi, Managing Trustee of Modi Charitable Trust, said, “The event went beyond a meal or playing games and represented a humble step towards promoting inclusivity, ensuring that every child feels valued and cherished. The smiles of our special guests made the initiative worthwhile.”

Going beyond food and games, the event saw the children being treated akin to celebrities and stars with a team of photographers capturing their photos and videos, giving them a lasting memory of the experience.
