Technician on Leave, But a Team from Kota Travels 130 km to Facilitate Eye Donation in Garoth
Garoth, Madhya Pradesh: Early this morning, retired teacher Ramgopal Tiwari, a resident of College Road, Garoth, passed away unexpectedly. After a lifetime of illuminating the minds of students, Tiwari, even after his death, gave the gift of sight to two people through eye donation.
Narendra Kumar Choudhary, the Provincial In-charge of the "Bharat Ko Jano" competition from the Bharat Vikas Parishad, shared that after Tiwari's sudden demise, his son Mukesh Tiwari discussed eye donation with him. Being from an educated family, Mukesh immediately agreed to the decision to donate his father’s eyes.
However, there was a challenge: the technician responsible for eye retrieval in Shamgarh was on leave, which left the family uncertain about how the donation could proceed. In this situation, Kamlesh Gupta Dalal, a Jyoti Mitra from Shine India Foundation, informed Dr. Kulwant Gaur from Kota about the situation. At the time, Dr. Gaur was on a morning walk with his family at Chhatra Vilas Garden but immediately left his family to drive 130 km to Garoth, bringing along the "Jyoti Rath" eye collection vehicle.
Dr. Gaur arrived in Garoth by 10 AM and successfully completed the eye donation procedure. During the process, a large number of local residents and community members gathered, gaining valuable information about the eye donation process, including the fact that only the cornea is removed, not the entire eye. This is a quick, bloodless procedure that takes only about 10 minutes.
This marks the second eye donation facilitated in Garoth with the support of Shine India Foundation. After the donation, the Bharat Vikas Parishad’s Garoth branch honored the donor’s family with a certificate of appreciation. Members of the local branch, including Anil Vyas, Radheshyam Sethia, Mukesh Dhanotia, Rajesh Mandalia, and Sharad Choudhary, were also present for the occasion. Dr. Gaur took the opportunity to educate the public on the eye donation process, dispelling myths and clarifying misconceptions surrounding it.
