<span style="color: #222222;">Today is National Organ Donation Day. It is being celebrated 27th of November every year in our country since 2010. The objective of the day is to spread awareness among people and to recognize the selfless efforts made towards mankind and re-establish belief in humanity.<br />''<br />''In India, organ donation has always been on a small scale. As per estimates, only 0.65 organ donations per million population take place in the country. There has been a considerable decline in organ donation in India as well as the entire world due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  There are only three percent registered organ donors in India. As per the 2019 data of the All Institute of Medical Sciences, annually 1.5 to two lakh people require a kidney transplant. But only around 8,000, meaning four percent people get it. Similarly, every year around 80,000 patients require a liver transplant, but only 1,800 eventually get it. Around one lakh patients require corneal or eye transplants annually, but less than half of people get it. Even for a heart transplant, of the 10,000 who need a heart transplant, only 200 matches with donors. The main reason behind such less organ donation is the lack of knowledge among people regarding the process of organ transplant. NGOs and public organizations are trying to spread awareness. </span><br />
