National Organ Donation Day is celebrated on November 27 in India every year. The day has been observed for the last 10 years. The main objective of the national organ donation day is to spread awareness among people and to recognize the selfless efforts made towards mankind, and reestablish our belief in humanity. The first time organ donation day was celebrated in 2010. Under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, it is organised by National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization (NOTTO).

In India, organ donation has always been on a small scale. As per estimates, only 0.65 organ donations per million population take place in the country. However, organ donation is 35 in Spain and 26 in America. There has been a considerable decline in organ donation in India as well as the entire world due to the Covid 19 Pandemic.
