Overview

  • The dedicated stall opens with the festival on August 27 and runs through September 6, offering on-site education, registrations and pledge forms for devotees.
  • Gleneagles Hospital says this is its first tie-up with the Lalbaugcha Raja mandal, which provided the stall space voluntarily at no cost.
  • Lakhs of visitors are expected daily at the pandal, positioning the drive to reach large numbers of potential registrants.
  • ZTCC data show 27 registered donors enabled 83 transplants through July 10, 2025, highlighting a persistent gap between need and availability.
  • Organizers frame pledging as a life-saving act resonant with Ganeshotsav devotion, with the hospital noting one cadaveric donor can save up to eight lives.
