National Programme for Control of Blindness and Eye Awareness

"One of the basic Human Right is to see and , therefore, it is to be ensured that no citizen goes blind needlessly; or being blind does not remain so, if, by reasonable deployment of skill and recourses, his eye sight could be prevented from deteriorating and if already lost could be restored”

:- Resolution of the Central Council of Health & Family Welfare at its meeting in the year 1975.
