TIRUPATI, JANUARY 23, 2026; In one of its kind progressive humanitarian gestures, a TTD Women Employee has pledged to donate her body to SVIMS after her demise and her rare decision has won laurels all over.
Smt. Kattamanchi Indira, the President of the TTD Women’s Welfare Association and currently discharging her duties as the Superintendent of the Audit Department, has agreed to donate her body to SVIMS – Sri Padmavathi Medical College after her death.
To this effect, she handed over an affidavit to the TTD Executive Officer Sri Anil Kumar Singhal in his chamber at the TTD Administrative Building in Tirupati on Friday.
Speaking on the occasion, Smt. K. Indira said that her husband, Dr. K. Shivaji, who had worked as a faculty member in several corporate colleges, had donated his body to a medical college after his death with the noble intention of being useful to students even after his demise.
Following her husband’s wish, she handed over the relevant affidavit to the TTD EO on Friday, expressing her intention that her body should also be useful to medical students after her death.
Appreciating her decision, TTD EO Anil Kumar Singhal stated that it is, in fact, a commendable gesture. ”Making your body useful to medical students rather than letting it decompose in the soil after death is really a unique and commendable gesture”, he maintained.
