Venue: Lake View Resort, Tajpur

The Prevention of Blindness Week campaign is planned by the Government of India which is held from 1st to 7th April for increasing the awareness towards the blind people. Blindness is a big issue and painful condition for the people who are suffering from it which cannot be felt by those who have eyes.

As ophthalmologists and responsible citizens of our country, Ophthalmological Society of West Bengal, believes in giving back to the society through its philanthropic initiatives. A Blindness Prevention Awareness Walk was organized by our members. Almost 50 ophthalmologists took part in the walk spreading awareness in the residential areas of Tajpur, Midnapur. Banners, placards and singing along the way boosted our moral spirit and helped in drawing attention of the common people. It was an overall eventful day for all our members.
