The Badee Eidgah, a revered prayer complex at Jalori Gate, Jodhpur, stands as a symbol of faith and community. On 9th April 2025, we were privileged to collaborate with the esteemed saint Pir Sahib and his NGO – the Al Abbas Educational Society – to host a free eye camp within this sacred space, fostering a noble union of health and spirituality.

The camp witnessed an overwhelming response, with 350 individuals attending to seek treatment for various eye ailments. Our dedicated team provided comprehensive care and identified 24 patients requiring cataract surgery. While six surgeries had to be deferred due to uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes, the remaining patients underwent successful cataract surgeries that very evening, all free of charge. Each patient also received a gratis artificial lens implant to ensure complete visual rehabilitation.

The event’s success underscores our commitment to alleviating avoidable blindness and reducing its burden in the arid stretches of the Thar Desert. Such initiatives harmonize with the National Programme for Control of Blindness and Visual Impairment (NPCB&VI), turning small, consistent efforts into meaningful change.

The accompanying visuals capture the spirit of the event – hope rekindled and lives transformed. Together, let us continue to illuminate lives and pave the way for a brighter, blindness-free future in the heart of the Thar.
