Vadodara, Gujarat – November 24, 2025 – Rotarian Lal Goel, Founder and Charter President of the Rotary Club of Organ Donation International and Chairman of the Organ Donation India Foundation & GYAN, addressed CISF officers and personnel at Vadodara Airport, highlighting the pivotal contribution of India’s security forces in enabling life-saving organ transplants.
In his impactful address, Rotarian Lal Goel underscored the critical importance of Green Corridors—the high-priority, traffic-free routes created to transport organs swiftly and safely. He explained that harvested hearts have a shelf life of merely 4 to 4.5 hours, often requiring rapid transport across long distances, including major routes such as Mumbai to Delhi.
“The window for retrieval and transplantation is extremely narrow,” he emphasised. “Green Corridors, made possible through the coordination of agencies like CISF, have ensured timely transplants and saved countless lives.”
Shri Krishna Prakash, Deputy Commandant, warmly welcomed Rotarian Lal Goel and his wife, Rtn Rajni Goel, to the awareness session. He praised Rotarian Goel’s unwavering efforts to promote organ donation and assured that CISF personnel would now approach organ transport with even greater clarity and purpose.
“We will follow all standard operating procedures for screening organ boxes not just as protocol, but with the understanding that we are contributing directly to saving lives,” he said.
As a gesture of appreciation, Shri Krishna Prakash presented a CISF memento to Rotarian Lal Goel, in recognition of his dedicated service to this noble cause. He added that he hoped many personnel would consider pledging their organs after discussing the importance of donation with their families.
Rotarian Lal Goel expressed heartfelt gratitude to Shri Krishna Prakash and the assembled CISF officers and personnel for their enthusiastic participation, commitment, and readiness to support this humanitarian mission.
