DRISHTI’( A Free Eye Screening Of Underprivileged Students) Initiative

Today’s lifestyle, dietry patterns, constant exposure to computer, mobile and TV screens          have taken a toll on people’s eye health. Agadhbodh Foundation recognized this rampant issue and in collaboration with Vision Spring, the Foundation organized free eye check up camp for government school and college students of Ranchi, Silli, and Patratu. In the pilot phase of the programme, 5000 students got their eye checked and around 1500 were in need of glasses, which was provided free of cost.

1. The Foundation has collaborated with PVUNL (NTPC- CSR) and conducted free eye check up of 2500 government school students of Patratu, out of which 500 received free eyeglasses.
2. Ranchi Women’s College joined the initiative and the Foundation extended its helping hands to 500 students at Ranchi Women’s College out of which 125 received free eyeglasses.
3. Moreover, PREJHA Foundation gave us the opportunity to conduct eye check up camp at ITI Kaushal College, Ranchi where 150 students benefitted from the initiative and 25 received free eyeglasses.

This is just the beginning, and Agadhbodh Foundation is looking for more such collaborations in future and is ready to expand the ‘DRISHTI’ initiative to a much larger level.
