Imagine a man who not only served as a political leader but also became a symbol of kindness and generosity in his community. That’s Jitender Singh Shunty for you!

Jitender, lovingly known as “Donor Singh,” has donated blood a remarkable 100 times and continues to do so. He’s the first Sikh in the world to achieve this incredible feat.

Jitender’s life wasn’t always easy. He grew up in a modest family and faced many challenges after losing his father at a young age. Despite these hardships, he worked hard to make ends meet. In 1995, as his business began to thrive, he founded the ‘Shaheed Bhagat Singh Sewa Dal.’

This organization is dedicated to saving lives by making emergency services more accessible and effective in Delhi. What’s truly touching is their care for the cremation of unclaimed bodies and those of impoverished individuals. They provide ambulance services, mortuary boxes, and hearse vans, and have cremated over 56,000 bodies in the last 25 years.

He is a true hero, with a lifetime of good deeds stitched into his story like a beautiful quilt. Imagine the highest prize in India, the Padma Shri – that’s what he got for helping families during the pandemic, earning the nickname “Antim Sanskar Wale,” the one who brings comfort in the darkest times.But even before that, he was a champion, winning awards for fighting injustice, giving blood 68 times (wow!), and organizing blood drives that saved countless lives. He cleaned rivers, built strong communities, and even got awards from the police for keeping his neighbourhood safe.

But here’s the thing: the real reward isn’t the trophies. It’s the thousands of whispered thank you’s, the tears of appreciation, and the lives he’s changed. He’s been on TV, newspapers, everywhere, showing everyone how to be kind and make the world a better place. Jitender Singh Shunty isn’t just a man with awards, he’s a man who makes the world a little brighter, one good deed at a time. Remember his name, and remember, everyone can weave their own quilt of kindness, just like him!
