Panvel, July 20, 2026: An organ donation and healthcare awareness campaign jointly organised by the Panvel Municipal Corporation (PMC) and the Dhanvantari Organisation for Socio-Health Transformation (DOST) is receiving an enthusiastic response from devotees participating in the annual Ashadhi Wari pilgrimage.
Carrying the message, "Organ donation is the truest gift of life," the awareness procession (dindi) is travelling alongside the pilgrimage, encouraging devotees and the public to learn about organ donation and pledge their support for the life-saving cause.
The campaign has currently reached Indapur, where thousands of Warkaris, local residents and social organisations welcomed the initiative. Many devotees came forward to learn about organ donation and expressed their willingness to pledge their organs.
Healthcare Initiative Gains Momentum
PMC's Chief Medical Officer, Dr Anand Gosavi, visited the awareness procession and interacted with volunteers, organisers and pilgrims. He said organ donation is the highest humanitarian act, enabling a person to give the gift of life to others even after death.
The campaign was flagged off on July 2 by MLA Prashant Thakur, Mayor Nitin Patil and Municipal Commissioner Mangesh Chitale.
According to PMC, the initiative has so far organised 55 street plays, 14 healthcare camps that provided medical treatment to 6,984 Warkaris, and six foot-care camps benefiting 790 pilgrims.
Around 8,000 informational pamphlets have also been distributed as part of the awareness drive. A special lecture for medical professionals was also organised in Baramati.
Awareness Drive Widely Appreciated
Officials said the initiative combines healthcare services, public awareness and humanitarian values, and has been widely appreciated across Maharashtra for promoting organ donation among the large number of devotees participating in the Wari.
