- Eye donation will give hope of new light to the needy, the Health Department and Medical College team completed the process.
Becoming a ray of hope and a ray of light for someone even after the last journey of life is a priceless example of humanity. The family of 23-year-old late Yash Gupta, a resident of village Vijaypur in Mohla-Manpur-Ambagadh Chowki district of Chhattisgarh, has embodied this sentiment. Yash’s untimely demise at a young age brought a mountain of sorrow upon the family, but even in this difficult time, the family set an inspiring example of human service by deciding to donate eyes. This is the second eye donation in the district, which gives a positive message of increasing awareness towards organ donation and eye donation in the society.
Following the passing of the late Mr. Yash Gupta, a resident of village Vijaypur, and his father, the late Mr. Arvind Gupta, his family agreed to donate his eyes on October 22nd. This sensitive decision by the family has brought hope to those in need who face many difficulties in life due to visual impairment. Transplanting corneas obtained through eye donation can help eligible individuals in need regain their sight.

Dhurve, District Nodal Officer for Blindness.
Under the supervision of Block Medical Officer Dr. Devesh Thakur, the eye donation team of Medical College Pendri, Rajnandgaon completed the necessary medical procedures.
