*Parents of 10-Month-Old Vansh Showcase Exemplary Gesture for Organ Donation
*Their Benevolence Saves One Life But Moves Many Hearts at PGIMER
*Following the organ donation, the family donated their infant son's body to PGIMER, a first-of-its-kind case of organ donation followed by body donation.

CHANDIGARH,23.05.2025.In a heartfelt act of compassion and benevolence, the parents of a 10-month-old infant from Lehragaga, Sangrur, have demonstrated extraordinary generosity by donating their child's organs after he tragically succumbed to injuries from a fall. This noble act was complemented by the donation of the infant’s body for medical research and training, marking a first-of-its-kind case at PGIMER where organ donation was followed by body donation.

On 18th May 2025, Vansh was referred to PGIMER after receiving initial emergency care at Civil Hospital, Sangrur, and later at Prime Hospital, Patiala. Despite the dedicated efforts of the medical team, Vansh’s condition deteriorated due to severe head trauma. When further interventions proved futile, his parents— Mr. Tony Bansal and Mrs. Premlata —made the courageous decision to donate his organs and tissues, embodying the true spirit of self-sacrifice.

“It's a loss beyond words,” shared Mr. Tony Bansal, the grieving father , fighting back tears. “But we are followers of Dera Sacha Sauda, and our Guruji teaches us that the greatest service is to save lives. We couldn’t save our son, but we knew we could give another parent hope. We wanted Vansh’s brief life to leave a meaningful legacy.”

Expressing his appreciation for the donor family’s benevolence, Prof. Vivek Lal, Director PGIMER, stated, “This case exemplifies extraordinary humanity and self-sacrifice. The unwavering resolve of the donor family, despite their profound grief, to see Vansh’s organs give life to others, is truly inspiring. PGIMER is honored to facilitate this noble act, reaffirming our commitment to saving lives.”

PGIMER’s multidisciplinary team, including pediatric neurologists, pediatricians, intensivists, and transplant surgeons, worked tirelessly to ensure the success of this complex procedure, commended Prof. Lal.

Sharing a pediatrician's perspective, Dr. Karthi, Additional Professor, Department of Paediatrics, PGIMER , said: “Organ donation from infants like Vansh highlights the remarkable ability to save lives even at the youngest ages.. It is a profound reminder that even the tiniest lives can leave a lasting legacy of hope, inspiring families and society to embrace altruism and compassion.”
