IND vs ENG: BCCI Launches 'Donate Organs, Save Lives' Initiative At 3rd ODI
The third ODI between India and England will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on February 12. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made a special announcement regarding this match, which is not just related to cricket but also gives an important message in the interest of society.
BCCI's New Initiative—'Donate 'Organs, Save Lives'
BCCI secretary Jay Shah informed about this new initiative on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). He wrote,
"On the sidelines of the third ODI between India and England in Ahmedabad on February 12, we are proud to launch an awareness initiative—'Donate 'Organs, Save Lives.'. Cricket is not just a sport; it is also a platform to inspire and bring change in society. We request everyone through this initiative to contribute to this noble cause of saving lives. A small promise can make a big difference.”
The BCCI has taken this step to raise awareness about organ donation. Such social initiatives from the platform of cricket are not limited to sports lovers, but they also convey a positive message to the general public.
Thousands of people need organ transplants every year in India, but due to lack of awareness, many patients are not able to get treatment on time. Through this initiative, the BCCI wants to send a message that organ donation can save the lives of the needy.
This move by BCCI is an important effort towards increasing social awareness among the public through sports. Cricket has been used to bring positive changes in society in the past as well, but this initiative will be giving a bigger message by going to a different level.
By engaging cricket lovers with this movement, BCCI has proved that sports is not just about entertainment, but it can also contribute to the well-being of society.
