CAMBA (Cornea Andhatv Mukt Bharat Abhiyan)

  • Netrakumbh 2025

    • 12 Jan 2025
    • 28 Feb 2025
    • Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India
    On the auspicious occasion of the upcoming Maha Kumbh, the grand festival of Sanatan Dharma, we are proud to announce the Netra Kumbh-2025, to be held in the sacred city of Prayagraj.  India is home to nearly 5 crore people with various disabilities, of which over 1.25 crore are visually impaired. Many suffer from preventable blindness due to a lack of awareness and inadequate medical facilities. Furthermore, corneal blindness remains a significant issue, with thousands of individuals in need of corneal transplants.  In this sacred setting of Maha Kumbh 2025, we are organizing an exceptional event that goes beyond the spiritual Netra Kumbh-2025, which will provide free eye check-ups, distribution of medicines and spectacles, and eye surgeries. This initiative, aimed at improving public health, is made possible with the collaboration of leading service-oriented organizations such as Saksham, The Hans Foundation, Swami Vivekananda Health Mission, Shri Bhaurao Deoras Trust, Shri Rajju Bhaiya Seva Trust, National Medicos Organization, and Seva Bharti.
