Title

Drushti Foundation : Drushti Medical and Research Trust

Description

There are 135 million visually impaired and 45 million blind people in the world today, and this number is going to increase .Up to 100 million people will needlessly go blind by the year 2020.And India , especially rural India, will house the maximum number of Blind in the World.


Cost-effective interventions are available for all major blinding conditions. However, particularly in rural India, the resources available are grossly insufficient to tackle the problem. The solution to the problem lies in the maximum and efficient utilization of the available resources while maintaining the standard of excellence and offering equitable distribution of the services. This is the central philosophy of the Drushti Foundation


असतोमा सद्गमय। तमसोमा ज्योतिर् गमय। मृत्योर्मामृतं गमय॥

Asato mā sad gamaya Tamaso mā jyotir gamaya Mrtyormā amṛtam gamaya


                        From ignorance, lead me to truth;
                        From darkness, lead me to light;
                        From death, lead me to immortality
