Drashti Netrayala has been passionately pursuing to provide basic eye care to the population of Dahod. We have actively tried to improve the facilities to cater to the second largest tribal community in India. The treatments are offered either at minimal affordable cost or no cost at all. Also, The International Training & Research Centre conducts clinical and operational research as well as training is imparted by international faculty regularly thus to combat the huge gap in the demand of ophthalmologists. We have joined hands with local community to create awareness among mass population as well. Every 20 Seconds, one person goes blind in India and a Child goes blind every minute.
