On April 23, 2026, Shingam Shivaji, the State general secretary of the All India Organ Donors Association, called on the Indian government to provide contract and outsourcing jobs to the families of organ donors. He believes that such measures would encourage more individuals to consider organ donation following the death of a loved one. Shivaji has sent letters to Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Minister for Health, Medical Education, and Family Welfare Satya Kumar Yadav, urging them to consider this proposal. Additionally, he suggested that recognizing the families of organ donors during national holidays, such as Independence Day and Republic Day, would serve as motivation for potential donors. To further promote the cause, he also recommended the inclusion of lessons on organ donation in school curricula, aiming to instill a sense of responsibility and awareness in children from an early age.
