Surat, March 24 – Mulayam Tufani Yadav, a 30-year-old painter from Anand and originally a native of Siddharth Nagar district in Uttar Pradesh, suffered critical injuries in a road accident on the night of March 19. While receiving treatment at Shree Krishna Hospital in Karamsad, he was declared brain-dead by a team of neurosurgeons on March 23. Following this, the NGO Donate Life counseled the family on the importance of organ donation, resulting in three individuals receiving a new lease on life.

As per agency report, Yadav had left for Karamsad on his motorcycle at around 8:30 pm on March 19, when his vehicle collided with a cow. He sustained severe head injuries and was rushed to the hospital, where he was under intensive care until his condition was declared irreversible.

The team from Donate Life, including founder Nilesh Mandalewala and Anand-based members Nikhil Shastri and Nishil Patel (Pappubhai), reached out to Mulayam’s father Tufani Yadav and wife Savitri Devi to explain the significance of organ donation. With their consent, coordination was established with the State Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization (SOTTO), and his organs were allocated as follows: the liver was sent to Zydus Hospital in Ahmedabad, one kidney to Sterling Hospital in Ahmedabad, and the second kidney to B. T. Savani Hospital. A green corridor was created with the assistance of Anand City Police to ensure timely transportation of the organs.

Fulfilling the father's wish to allow Mulayam’s mother to see her son one last time, Donate Life arranged for his mortal remains to be flown from Ahmedabad Airport to Ayodhya Airport via cargo flight. The organization also provided free travel arrangements for the family and took on the responsibility for the education of Mulayam’s two children. Assistance in embalming the body was provided by Dr. Vinesh Shah in Surat to ensure safe transportation.

At Ahmedabad Airport, renowned spiritual leader Sadhvi Ritambhara happened to meet Donate Life founder Nilesh Mandalewala. Upon learning about the noble act, she blessed Mulayam’s family for their decision to donate his organs.

With this donation, Donate Life has now facilitated a total of 1,309 organ and tissue donations from Surat and South Gujarat, including 532 kidneys, 231 livers, 55 hearts, 52 lungs, 9 pancreases, 8 hands, and 1 small intestine.

Mulayam Yadav’s selfless act, carried out by his grieving family, has not only saved lives but also set a powerful example highlighting the life-transforming impact of organ donation.

Anand : In a major blow to the Congress party, more than 2,500 party workers, ranging from booth-level volunteers to Sarpanches, switched allegiance to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday in Borsad, Anand district. The mass induction ceremony, held in the presence of Anand MP Mitesh Patel and BJP State President CR Patil, marked a significant setback for the Congress in the upcoming assembly elections.

Patil Hails Decision, Attacks Previous Regime

Addressing the gathering, Patil lauded the workers' decision, attributing it to their desire for development under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. He criticized the years of "exploitative rule" by the same family in the region, claiming that Borsad had been deprived of development due to ineffective leadership. "You have given an opportunity to BJP by rejecting a party that was zero in development but ahead in ruling," he stated.

Workers Seek Change, Allege Lack of Direction

Patil further emphasized that workers join parties based on ideology and a desire to contribute. He implied dissatisfaction with the Congress leadership, stating, "When the leadership becomes directionless and lacks integrity, what can happen to you?" This resonated with the departing workers, who reportedly expressed their disillusionment with the party's current state.

District BJP Leaders Present

Several prominent BJP leaders, including District President Rajesh Patel, District Incharge Rakesh Shah, and District General Secretary Jagat Patel, were present at the ceremony. This mass induction is expected to strengthen the BJP's position in Borsad ahead of the crucial assembly elections, potentially impacting the overall electoral landscape in Gujarat.

Anand: For over two decades, Gujarat has been at the forefront of innovative education initiatives, aimed at ensuring that every child in the state receives a good education. This is made possible through the implementation of the "Right to Education Act" (RTE) across the state, which allows children from poor-middle families to receive a free education in private schools without paying any fees. The state government pays for the education of all these children.

Markand Parekh, a resident of Vidyanagar in Anand district, is one such beneficiary of the RTE. He speaks emotionally about the admission of his son Amrish to the prestigious Anandalaya School, where children of doctors, engineers, and big industrialists study. He never dreamed that his son would be able to attend such a school under the government's RTE. The school fee for the first standard is 55 thousand rupees, but the government pays for Amrish's education, and he is treated no differently from any other student in the school.

In-charge Principal of Anandalaya School, Shri Tejas Desai, confirms that 95 children are currently studying under RTE in different classes of the school, with 20 to 25 children admitted each year from the government. The school works closely with parents to ensure that these children receive equal education opportunities and participate in all school activities. The result is that RTE students and regular students are developing equally.

Over the past two decades, Anand has become a hub of education, attracting students from across India and abroad. The district's children from middle-poor families now have the opportunity to study in the same schools as the children of financially capable families, bringing the government's concept of equal, balanced, and well-rounded education for the holistic development of every child to life.
