FUTURE PLANS With eradication of avoidable blindness at the heart of all of our programmes, we plan to step up our efforts and enable high quality eye health care to around 9,00,000 vulnerable persons across 21 states of the country by next year. Our focus will be towards scaling two key programmes – Mission Jyot and Mission Saksham. We believe both these programmes have significant potential in strengthening our mission towards elimination of avoidable blindness and will also offer long term impact. Our plan is to set up 250 Vision Centres across the country and train 2000 Allied Ophthalmic Personnel in the next few years. Other exciting projects that have been set in motion is the establishment of a secondary eye hospital in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh in partnership with Dr. Shroff Charity Eye Hospital and an operation theatre complex at Balasore, Odisha in collaboration with LV Prasad Eye Institute. Through these initiatives, we hope to strengthen our efforts towards providing comprehensive eye-care to communities in need and simultaneously eliminating avoidable blindness across India.
We at Divyajyoti trust are very happy with our partnership with Mission for Vision - a mutually beneficial partnership building on the strengths of each other. Independent quality audits by MFV team is a unique concept implemented by them which will go a long way in improving the quality of work at partner hospitals and we believe it should be replicated by others. We wish them a grand success in their endeavours. Dr. Uday Gajiwala,
Superintendant, Tejas Eye Hospital run by Divyajyoti trust
