National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization (NOTTO) under the aegis of Ministry of Health & Family welfare, has been celebrating the lndian Organ Donation Day every year since 2010 and carrying out other awareness activities to spread awareness about organ donation, dispel myths and misconceptions associated with organ donation, motivate and encourage the citizens of the country to donate organs and tissues after death, as well as to imbibe the value of organ donation in their lives.
This year, it has been decided to run yearlong public awareness campaign by the name of "Angdaan - Jeevan Sanjeevani Abhiyaan(अंगदान – जीवन संजीवनी अभियान)" during the year 2025-26. As part of the campaign, 3 August 2025 will be celebrated as the 15th Indian Organ Donation Day (IODD) to commemorate the first deceased donor organ transplant, which was also the first heart transplant performed on 3 August 1994 in the country, after promulgation of "The Transplantation of Human Organs Act" on 8th July, 1994.
Citizens are requested to join the pious movement of saving others life through organ donation and register their pledge for organ and tissue donation through NOTTO's web portal https://notto.abdm.gov.in
