ORGAN India is an initiative of the Parashar Foundation and is fully supported by the Vijaya Gujaral Foundation.
The Parashar Foundation
Parashar Foundation was formed in 2005 by Late Ashok Parashar, in the memory of his late mother Damyanti Parashar, with the philanthropy of ‘doing for the others’.
The main objective of Parashar Foundation has been providing healthcare to the needy, educating and improving the fate of the poor, under-privileged and general population, for serving humanity and for the well-being of the people in general.
Since 2013, the Foundation has started working on creating awareness on Organ Donation under ORGAN (Organ Receiving & Giving Awareness Network) India. Through OR-GAN India, the Parashar Foundation has aspired to remedy the shortage of organ donors, and endeavor to create an ecosystem to facilitate organ donation in India. The key is to educate the public about organ donation and introduce them to the idea in every way and through various mediums and platforms.

To give back to the community for all the blessings she received, the Organ Receiving & Giving Awareness Network (ORGAN) India was setup as an initiative of the Parashar Foundation.
