| Dear Friends,
|
|
In this edition of 'Dhrishti', our newsletter, I share with you highlights from a memorable quarter. Our partnership with LVPEI expanded even further with the inauguration of the third secondary eye care centre in Odisha. We also entered into two significant partnerships to take primary eye care to different parts of India – with the Fullerton India Credit Company Limited and SABIC.
World Sight Day 2015 was commemorated in October with a mega eye screening event in the Cricket Club of India premises in keeping with our belief that avoidable blindness can be prevented with timely detection and care. Events were also organised in other parts of the country.
