Keeping this saying in mind, a nationwide campaign for the eradication of blindness is being carried out by the Saksham Organization. Among all organs of the human body, the eyes are among the most vital. Therefore, the motto of the Netra Kumbh (Eye Checkup Camp) is “Pashyema Sharadah Shatam”, which means “May we see this beautiful creation of God for a hundred years.” This vision inspired the planning of the Netra Kumbh.

Near Pokhran in Rajasthan, known globally for India’s nuclear tests, lies the holy town of Ramdevra, about 12 km north. It is also known as Runicha Dham, and is visited by devotees in large numbers. About 673 years ago, Baba Ramdev Ji was born here and fought against social evils, becoming a symbol of unity and harmony. He attained Samadhi (conscious exit from life) at the age of 33 on the banks of Ram Sarovar on Bhadrapad Shukla Ekadashi, Vikram Samvat 1442.

Every year, a large fair is held from Shravan Shukla to the end of Bhadrapad month. This year, more than 5 million devotees are expected. People come walking, by bicycle, or motorcycle to offer their devotion and fulfill their wishes — they are called Jatarus.

Taking this sacred opportunity, the Lokdevta Baba Ramdev Netra Kumbh 2025 will be organized to provide free eye checkups, medicines, spectacles, and surgeries. This initiative will be supported by the Government of Rajasthan and several notable organizations including:
– Saksham
– Seemajan Kalyan Samiti
– Shri Baba Ramdev Seva Samiti, Ramdevra
– National Medicos Organization
– Jan Seva Samiti, Jaisalmer
– Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad
– Vidya Bharati
– Vishwa Hindu Parishad
– Seva Bharati
– Bharat Vikas Parishad
– Rajasthan Shikshak Sangh (National), among others

This will become an unprecedented and unique example of health service during Baba Ramdev Ji’s fair.
