Vineet’s organs were encouraged to be donated by a group of NIMS medical professionals, and the MOHAN Foundation Jaipur Citizen Forum, an NGO. They bravely agreed to let him donate his organs in order to save the lives of critically ill patients in dire need of organ transplantation.
With the assistance of the Rajasthan State Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization (SOTTO), the traffic police of Jaipur established five green routes for the first time in the state to guarantee efficient and quick organ transportation.
A ‘Green Corridor’ is a designated path that eliminates traffic between the hospital where an organ is taken and the hospital where it will be transplanted.

A patient at SMS Hospital received a kidney transplant, and the other kidney was sent to a patient in CK Birla Hospital. A patient at Santokba Durlabhji Memorial Hospital received a liver transplant, and KIMS Hospital in Secunderabad, Andhra Pradesh, received the patient’s lungs.
SMS Hospital, CK Birla, Hospital, and Santokba Durlabhji Memorial Hospitals were within city limits. To facilitate the to-and-fro mobility of the team from KIMS hospital, which came to retrieve the donor’s lungs, a green lane was established between the Jaipur airport and NIMS.
The donated organs were successfully transplanted into the patients who had been fighting for their lives. This feat is noteworthy because multiple organs have been retrieved and transplanted with great success.
Status of Organ Donation in India
India has seen a rise in organ donations recently, but they are still considered insufficient. India’s organ donation rate is at 0.52 per million people, which is far lower than the necessary 1 organ per million people (1✔ ✔Trusted Source

).
Poor organ donation rates in India are caused by a number of factors, including illegal organ trade, inadequate infrastructure, and misconceptions and myths about organ donation.
However, there are many positive signs of regulated laws and legislations, increased social campaigns, and raising transplant coordinating organizations to minimize the organ donor-recipient gap.
Today’s Demise Can Be Tomorrow’s Legacy
