Drushti Abhiyan : One step for Eye Health, Beautiful, Bright Future..!

India has the largest blind population in the world. Cataracts are the main cause of blindness in most cases. A cataract is a visual impairment that can be cured with treatment and surgery. But even today it is neglected especially in rural areas. Hundreds of eye disorders can be cured with simple glasses. Mainly due to a lack of awareness about eye health and apathy towards treatment, lakhs of people in India still suffer from blindness.

To address this pressing need, we have initiated promoting health awareness in rural areas through routine check-ups, emergency health services, and free camps on various health-related issues. Our focus is on providing essential health services to vulnerable groups, including the blind, senior citizens, and those with cancer. We believe that by working together and promoting health observance, we can raise awareness about various illnesses, diseases, and other important health-related topics and help to prevent needless deaths and suffering.

Cataracts and similar eye disorders are increasing due to various reasons. According to government statistics, 62.6% of the total blindness in India is due to cataracts and due to lack of timely surgery.
