The Godavari Initiative (TGI) a multi-stakeholder collaborative platform was launched in Mumbai by Mr. Mukesh Kumar Sinha, Chairman, Godavari River Management Board (GRMB) to address critical challenges related to the health of Upper Godavari River basin. With Diageo India as the founding partner, the initiative is supported by GSK, Hinduja Group, Alliance for Water Stewardship, CSRBOX and a few more organisations. The project aims to create a resilient and thriving ecosystem which balances community well-being with ecological integrity while ensuring water security. The initiative, spread across 55,350 sq. kms of catchment area, will benefit 23 million people across 9 districts in the state of Maharashtra. In addition, technologies such as data and analytics, geospatial mapping will help in shaping strategies and monitor progress for adaptive and basin-focused project interventions.

The launch event garnered significant interest, drawing sustainability leaders from over 35 corporations and key government officials, including representatives from the Water Resources Department and District Officers of Nashik, Aurangabad, and other critical basin districts.

To ensure effective on-ground implementation and data-driven decision-making, TGI is establishing a Fellowship program. This initiative will place expert fellows in each district to serve as the backbone of the project.

The project will be driven by the TGI secretariat based out of Mumbai. The Godavari Initiative's structure has been designed to ensure effective collaboration and impactful outcomes in water sustainability. It includes an Advisory Board for strategic guidance, a TGI Secretariat for seamless operations, a Steering Committee for oversight and direction, and Working Groups focused on conservation, research, education, and community empowerment. The initiative will focus on five key pillars:
 
  • Nirmal Godavari: Promoting conservation and protection through Nature-Based Solutions
  • Aviral Godavari: Encouraging sustainable practices for the protection of biodiversity
  • Gyan Godavari: Promoting education, capacity building, and research along with development for sustainable solutions.
  • Jan Godavari: Building environmental consciousness through engagement, awareness, advocacy and communication.
  • Arth Godavari: Empowering through economic freedom, igniting entrepreneurship and fostering sustainable livelihoods by driving prosperity.
 
Hina Nagarajan, MD & CEO, Diageo India said, "We are delighted to be the founding partner for The Godavari initiative to drive collective action to address the broader systemic water risks in water-stressed basins. This initiative is a step forward in preserving water for life, a key priority under our Society 2030: Spirit of Progress Plan and in line with UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Such partnerships are key to achieving a net positive water impact and we look forward to collaborating with corporates, government agencies and civil society organisations on this initiative."
 
Rozina Rupani, Lead – The Godavari Initiative said, "Under TGI, we are essentially shaping a collective call to action. In the face of a rapidly warming planet and expanding water-stressed areas, it is imperative to weave together diverse streams of resources, expertise, and the commitment of key stakeholders to address the health of a very crucial river ecosystem in India."

Medanta Gurugram has become the first hospital to receive the recognition of "Active Emerging Lung Transplant Centre in North India" from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) and the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (NOTTO). Awarded to the Medanta Institute of Lung Transplantation, led by Dr. Arvind Kumar, the prestigious title is a testament to the hospital's commitment to advancing specialised lung care and contributing to the broader goal of promoting organ donation and transplantation awareness in India.

Dr Arvind Kumar, Chairman, Institute of Lung Transplantation, Medanta Gurugram, said, "Lung transplantation represents the pinnacle of hope for those battling end-stage lung diseases, which have emerged as the third leading cause of mortality worldwide, including in India. At Medanta, we have relentlessly pursued excellence in establishing and advancing our lung transplant facility, aiming to deliver unparalleled outcomes for patients across North India. Our dedication has culminated in a remarkable achievement: Since the programme's inception in November 2022, the Medanta Lung Transplantation Institute has successfully completed 15 lung transplant procedures—the highest number of cases done by any lung transplantation centre within the first 18 months of operation. This exceptional feat, coupled with our sustained initiatives to promote organ donation awareness, has been instrumental in earning this prestigious recognition from the Government of India and NOTTO. Our success is further validated by Medanta's consistent performance and significant case volume, both of which were key factors in our evaluation. The comprehensive expertise of our multidisciplinary team, bolstered by unwavering support from our leadership, particularly Dr. Naresh Trehan, have been pivotal to our success. This recognition not only honours our past achievements, but also fuels our commitment to pushing the boundaries of lung care, offering renewed hope to patients, and setting new benchmarks in transplant medicine."

Lung transplantation stands as a critical, life-saving procedure for patients with end-stage lung diseases who have exhausted all other treatment options. For these individuals, a transplant often represents their last hope for survival without which patients' life expectancy is measured in months rather than years. Successful lung transplantation can significantly extend life expectancy and dramatically improve quality of life. According to the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation, the median survival rate for lung transplant recipients is now 6.7 years, with many patients living 10 years or more post-transplant. Some recipients have even survived beyond 20 years with their transplanted lungs. This stark difference underscores the vital importance of lung transplantation in not only extending lifespan but also in restoring patients' ability to breathe freely, engage in daily activities, and enjoy a fuller life.

Speaking on the recognition, Dr. Naresh Trehan, Chairman and Managing Director, Global Health Limited (Medanta), said, "This recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to advancing medical science and improving patient outcomes. At Medanta, we have built an ecosystem that fosters innovation, pioneers cutting-edge treatments, and delivers exceptional results. Our lung transplant programme exemplifies this ethos. We have established rigorous protocols for medical training, and collaborated with some of the best institutions to drive public awareness to address the critical challenge of organ availability in North India. As we refine our processes and expand our capabilities, we remain focused on our core mission: resolving complex cases and improving patient outcomes through enhanced safety, standardized care, and tailored, cutting-edge therapies. Looking ahead, we envision Medanta leading the charge in making advanced lung care more accessible in India."

Speaking about the rise in lung transplants in India, Dr Kumar, said, "The rise in number of lung transplants in India can be attributed to factors such as greater awareness, improved access to advanced facilities, trained manpower, cutting-edge technology, and the development of specialized programmes across various hospitals."

Increased awareness among physicians, patients, and the broader healthcare ecosystem has also played a crucial role. "A decade ago, only a few cases were performed annually. But today, more than 100 cases are done each year, which is a remarkable increase. This speaks of our improved medical prowess and represents new hope for patients and their loved ones."

By fostering an environment that drives clinical excellence and promotes the use of the most cutting-edge technology, Medanta is poised to set new standards in organ transplantation. As the hospital continues to address the challenges of organ availability through awareness campaigns on donation and patient outcomes, its clinical contributions are set to offer renewed hope and life-saving solutions to those afflicted by end-stage lung diseases.
