Mr.Ashok Mahindru Said 50 eye banks to be opened all over India.


An eye bank run by a charitable trust today said it is planning to open 50 facilities across the country and provide free treatment for corneal blindness to people from economically weaker sections.
"We plan to open 50 eye banks all over India to ensure that corneal blindness is completely wiped out from India," Ashok Mahindru, who heads Y P Mahindru Eye Bank, said at a camp here.
The eye bank along with NGO Nirmaya Charitable Trust organised a free check-up-cum-treatment camp which also doubled up as a platform to donate eyes.
"We have been actively providing free eye care since 1960. And we set up Y P Mahindru Eye Bank a little more than four years ago. Since its inception, the bank has seen 1,150 eye donations which have rebuilt lives of several people suffering from corneal blindness," Mahindru said.
"At the camps that we organise, everything from check up to treatment is free for the beneficiary because our Trust bears the cost of the treatment. Since our roots lie in villages, there can be nothing better than taking these initiatives to villages," he said.
India has 3.5 million people with corneal blindness, but a meagre 40,000 people donate their eyes annually.
"It is important that people realise the importance of donating eyes. I believe that while alive one should donate blood and after death give away the eyes because that person can continue to see the world through the one he donates his/her eyes to," Dr T N Ahuja from the Nirmaya Charitable Trust said.
Mahindru said, "people in India are not quite open to the idea of organ donation but it is the most beautiful gift you can give to the world. By donating eyes, one can make two lives beautiful, this is the message we try to convey through our work."
"In places where maximum temperatures go beyond 45 deg C during summers, cataract can set in as early as 50 years, so our target is such places," he added. (PTI)

Ashok Mahindru had set a target of 1000 eye donations at his father's dream initiative Y.P. Mahindru Niramaya Eye Bank for 2012 and it has been a great joy to see it fulfilled with 1000th eye transplant by the year end. Many of these corneas have been transplanted by AIIMS, Delhi and PGIMS, Rohtak (Haryana) through an ongoing collaboration.

Founder of the eye bank honorable Late Mr. Y.P Mahindru, a visionary philanthropist believed that one gets deep inner satisfaction and happiness when one gets physically involved in philanthropy. Late Mr. Mahindru had worked for health care for over 6 decades and had regularly organized free eye surgery/care camps for the under privileged. Mr. Ashok Mahindru has been taking forward his father's vision by expanding the footprint through Run for Vision Foundation.

In 2004, Late Mr. Mahindru along with his son Ashok Mahindru guided a group of motivated professionals with a record experience in health and eye care to set up North India's first and largest private Eye bank with a mission of providing 'Quality Health Care to the Rural and Urban Poor". Y.P. Mahindru Niramaya Eye Bank was registered in January 2004 at Gurgaon (Haryana), as a charitable institution under Society's Act.

BSNL has provided a free helpline (1919) for the Eye Bank which is also a 24X7 helpline to respond to eye donation requests immediately. It is the only govt. approved eye bank in South Haryana which is registered with Eye Bank Association of India. It follows standard world class procedures and is equipped with latest technology.

Active steps under the guidance and leadership of Mr. Ashok Mahindru are being taken to keep this campaign alive by making it a part of the Indian culture in years to come.
