Years ago, Mr. Bakshi had pledged to donate his body through the Dadhichi Dehdaan Samiti. Upon his passing, his family ensured that his commitment was fulfilled. His mortal remains were transported from Mithapur to IGIMS via ambulance and handed over to the Department of Anatomy for the advancement of medical education.

Mr. Bakshi was a former high-ranking railway official and had strong ties to prominent personalities—he was the nephew of Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan and the brother of former minister Sudha Srivastava.

Present at IGIMS to receive the body were Dadhichi Dehdaan Samiti president and former Governor Shri Ganga Prasad, General Secretary Padma Shri Bimal Jain, Head of Anatomy Department Dr. Avneesh Kumar, Treasurer Pradeep Chaurasia, Vinita Mishra, Shailesh Mahajan, other committee members, and Mr. Bakshi’s family members, including his wife Manju Bakshi, sons Vivek and Vishal Bakshi, daughters Vinita, Parineeti, and Nivedita Jamuar, and relatives Aastha, Pankaj, Alok, Anurag, Vikramaditya, Balaji, and Vikash.

A solemn tribute was paid to the departed soul with a moment of silence observed by those present. The hospital administration and the Dadhichi Dehdaan Samiti expressed heartfelt gratitude to the family for their courageous and generous act.

Speaking on the occasion, Shri Ganga Prasad emphasized the importance of body donation, urging the public to adopt this noble tradition after death. “This is an extraordinary contribution to society, and such acts are still rare,” he said.

Padma Shri Bimal Jain also advocated for organ and body donation, encouraging people to fill out pledge forms and contribute to the service of suffering humanity. He highlighted the urgent need for cadavers in medical education, noting that while ideally one body is required for every 20 students, in Bihar the ratio is as low as one body for every 300 students due to a shortage of donations.

Special thanks were extended to IGIMS Director Dr. Binde Kumar for facilitating the ambulance service for this humane endeavor.
