Eye Donation Rally

India is the fastest growing economy in the world and has a tremendous unmet need for ophthalmic care. The country is also home to approximately 30 percent of the world’s blind people, about half of whom are blind from cataracts, and is seeing rising numbers of people with glaucoma or retinal disease as people live longer. By 2022, over 145 million Indians will be age 60 or over. The key drivers for ophthalmology market in India will be high rates of eye disease, Increasing aging population and access to high technology which would help in early diagnosis and treatments.

Thus to create awareness among the public regarding the significance of eye care and eye donation, our Agarwal eye hospital in collaboration with our school and few other schools participated in a rally held on 6th September 2019. Around 100 students belonging to the Eco club, NCC and Guides enthusiastically participated in the rally. Students carried placards and went around the vicinity of Fraser Town thereby creating awareness among the public.
