In a landmark gesture, more than 9,300 residents of Mizoram have pledged to donate their eyes, bolstering the state's eye‑donation efforts.
A record number of more than 9,300 residents in the northeastern state of Mizoram have pledged to donate their eyes in a coordinated state‑wide campaign.
The pledge, announced by local health authorities, aims to increase the supply of donor eyes for transplantation and help restore sight to patients in need.
Officials say the initiative follows a growing national push to raise awareness about eye donation and to reduce the backlog of patients awaiting corneal transplants.
The state’s health department plans to process the pledges through its existing eye‑donation registry and will coordinate with hospitals across Mizoram to facilitate timely donations.
