According to the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (Government of India) nearly 20 lakh people are suffering from corneal blindness and 40 to 50 thousand new cases are been added every year. Because awareness regarding eye donation is still low in our country, we want to create momentum in eye donation in India.

with reference to the above, Cornea Andhatv Mukt Bharat Abhiyan (CAMBA) is relevant, result oriented programme initiated by Samdrishti Kshamta vikas evam Anusandhan Mandal (SAKSHAM). In one side we had organized multiple programmes to encourage the eye donation awareness all over India. On the other side there was a remarkable increase in the number of Corneal transplants. In this whole year we have done Cornea donation awareness programmes in 149 Districts. Our aim is to complete cornea recipient registration survey in Jabalpur, Karnal, Mahaboob Nagar, New Delhi and Nagpur. Very shortly we are starting Eye collection centres/Eye Banks in as many places as possible. Cornea Andhatv Mukt Bharat Abhiyan (CAMBA) has organized four regional workshops in North-New Delhi, South-Hyderabad, East-Guwahati, and West India - Jabalpur cities respectively which were attended by Eye surgeons, Eye Bank directors & SAKSHAM members working in the field of CAMBA. Various strategic issues related to corneal donation, corneal transplantation and post operative care were discussed which focus on development of good coordination between eye surgeons, eye banks and community.

All the SAKSHAM members are dedicated to eradicate (Prevention and Treatment) of corneal blindness from India.

Visual disability is one of the major public health problems in the world, not only

because of the high number of blind persons in the developing countries, but also due to

social, cultural, economic and educational factors influencing the vision.

CAMBA is pursuing humanitarian approach. Collectively we can combat corneal

blindness by creating awareness and motivation for eye donation in India.

I convey my best wishes and pray the Almighty to give us courage in achieving the

goal for service of mankind.

There is little more important than sight. So it’s crucial to identify the key challenges

To sight, and work to prevent and mitigate blindness where we can.

The SAKSHAM initiative Corneal Andhatv-Mukt Bharath Abhiyan (CAMBA) aspires to make India corneal blindness free by 2018. This laudable goal deserves our fulsome support.

It is easy to think about blindness in a binary fashion ; either one can see or not. The reality is more complex; the visually challenged encompass a range of people from those who are completely blind to those who are partially sighted. The visually challenged experience the world differently. What can be easy to a fully-sighted person can be deeply challenging for someone with impaired vision. The everyday can become complex, the routine stressful, and participating fully in life activities deeply difficult.

There is no way for the fully sighted to properly experience the world of visual challenge. Some have tried - a pioneering exhibition in London in the 1990s set up a temporary enclosed road space, office and kitchen totally plunged into darkness, Groups of 3-4 members of the public were guided around it by either blind or partially sighted guides. Ordinary daily tasks acquired a completely different level of difficulty. Those who visited the exhibition departed with a new appreciation of the variability and impact of sight.

I welcome CAMBA because it matters. CAMBA represents the aspirations the India and the United Kingdom stand for, not least engaging on and meaningfully supporting the rights of the visually impaired. I wish CAMBA well in he important task of fostering innovation, furthering change, and combating corneal blindness.

With very best withes,

Dr. Alexander Evans
