Patanjali commits 1,000 cr to boost Madhya Pradesh agriculture
Patanjali announces ₹1,000 crore investment in Madhya Pradesh agriculture at Rewa Conclave, pledging wheat procurement and new development projects to boost farmer income.
Patanjali Ayurved College has launched a five-day organ donation awareness campaign under the auspices of its Department of Anatomy. The campaign began with an organ donation registration camp inaugurated by Acharya Balkrishna, General Secretary of Patanjali Yogpeeth, who lit the ceremonial lamp to mark the event.
During the inauguration, Acharya Balkrishna highlighted the importance of organ donation, describing it as the greatest act of charity. He urged all citizens to pledge for organ donation, emphasizing that one donor can save up to eight lives. “After death, our body becomes akin to dust, but the organs we donate can give a new lease on life to those in need,” he stated.
Inspired by Acharya Balkrishna’s call to action, around 65 staff members, including teachers and doctors from various units of the institution, registered for organ donation on the first day of the camp.
