| Hema Malini inaugurates 3-day Mega Eye Camp | | |  Agencies
Mathura, Dec 25: MP of Mathura Hema Malini inaugurated a 3-days Mega Eye Camp, organised by Mahindru Foundation charitable Trust dedicated to eradication of curable blindness in association with Gurgaon-based Charitable Eye Hospital Arya Veer Netra Chikitsalaya at Kamar Village in Mathura.
According to press release, the 3-day Mega Eye Camp was held from 20th to 22nd December 2014 primarily to benefit the poor and underprivileged of Kamar and surrounding Villages in Mathura (India).
Through this initiative, Mahindru Foundation aims to address the issue of curable blindness and create awareness on treating blindness. These are the villages where the problem of cataract is most prominent as people are not aware about its treatment and suffer because of lack of access to easy healthcare facilities. Mahindru Foundation, which supports Gurgaon-based Arya Veer Netra Chikitsalaya and YP Mahindru Niramaya Eye Bank, is committed to bridge the gap and spread awareness to bring light to people's lives.
More than 3000 people of Kamar and its adjoining areas were screened at the Eye Camp over three days. Another major positive take away from the Camp is that nearly 100 people pledged their eyes for the noble cause.
Hema Malini, MP, Mathura Constituency said, "The cause of the blind is a very moving one. Imagine not experiencing life for a single day. It is difficult to imagine that nearly 1 crore 80 lakh people in India are blind. The tragedy is that 80 percent of the blind population can be cured. But because of lack of awareness and poor donation rate, they live in darkness and are deprived of the joys of life." |
