The rise in participation followed active involvement from district officials. On Wednesday, District Collector Dr Khushal Yadav and Superintendent of Police took the organ donation pledge, which was followed by a coordinated push by local authorities and institutions to encourage wider registration. Previously, Hanumangarh was ranked 12th in the state.
The campaign is part of a broader initiative to promote awareness about organ donation and encourage voluntary pledges. Medical institutions, educational campuses, government departments, and local representatives have been involved in driving the campaign forward. At the Government Medical College in Hanumangarh, Principal Dr Kirti Shekhawat urged faculty, staff, and students to take the pledge and support the cause.
Across Rajasthan, over 72,000 people have registered for the organ donation e-pledge as of the latest data. The campaign has seen contributions from a cross-section of society, including government employees, elected representatives, students, and members of the general public.
The e-pledge process is being conducted online through the official portal of the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (NOTTO) under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission. Upon completion, a digital certificate of organ donation pledge is issued.
Officials noted that the campaign’s purpose is to normalise organ donation as a responsible act that can help save lives after death. While the pledge is non-binding and voluntary, it reflects an individual’s intent and helps build a database for future organ donation matching and coordination.
Hanumangarh’s lead in the campaign highlights the role of administrative coordination and public response in state-led health awareness efforts. The state government is continuing to monitor district-wise progress and aims to increase participation in the coming weeks.
