An unselfish act....Kudos and solemn homage.

Kudos and homage to the late Shri Tej Ram, Chairman of the Sir Ganga Ram Trust may his soul rest in peace.

Following a massive stroke at the age  of 88, Shri Tej Ram was deemed to have no brain stem function. His family honouring his life-time wish agreed to donate his organs without any fanfare and to not-so privileged individuals. The liver and kidneys have been transplanted into three needy individuals who otherwise were staring at near certain death due to advanced organ failure.

This selfless and honourable act from a person of high-standing in society comes as a breath of fresh air in an environment that has been sullied by greed, avarice and moral corruption restoring faith in the humanity that is the very essence of the human race.

Let us take a moment to bow and pay our solemn homage to Shri Tej Ram whose last human act has immortalised him. He continues to live in the three individuals can now look forward to a healthy life thanks to him.

I hope such individuals will continue to stand out as paragons of virtue to inspire more and more people and their families towards such selfless acts .
