Visionary stories
Flowery Vision
 
 
A few months ago, Purnabai Shantaram Bhoye, a 65-year-old resident of Chinchwad in Nashik district, Maharashtra, noticed that her vision was getting blurry and unclear. Purnabai, who makes garlands out of jasmine flowers and sells it in Nashik city, was no longer able to do her job properly. When she att‚ended an eye camp organised by the MFV-supported Tulsi Chanrai Eye Hospital (TCEH) in a neighbouring village, she was told she has cataract in both eyes. With timely surgical help at the hospital her vision has been restored.

And Purnabai is back to making fragrant jasmine garlands and an economically productive life.
