Mission for vision
In the almost two years between June 2015 and March 2017, Mission for Vision and SCEH partnered for Mission Roshni to conduct pediatric school and community screenings in Meerut. The aim was to eradicate avoidable blindness amongst children in the area and enable an inclusive environment for children with irreversible low vision and/or blindness. Through the program, over 89 thousand children were screened, of which 3351 children were given spectacles and 130 were operated upon.
Seva foundation
The Seva Foundation, along with SCEH, due to the success of the first phase has initiated the second phase of Project Drishti in the region, from February 2022 and to February 2023. The program aimed to provide long term eye care to children, expanding on the geographies previously being catered to. Facilities at existing vision centers were also upgraded to create infrastructure to support increased primary eye care delivery.
