Young Girl, Sanjana Chauhan, Introduces ‘Drishti’ Campaign
A class 11 student, Chauhan has started this campaign to focus on eye care for underprivileged children
Sanjana Chauhan, a class 11 student has initiated ‘Drishti’, a campaign focused on promoting eye care and eyesight check-ups for the underprivileged sections of the society.
While teaching a few students from a slum school in Noida, Chauhan noticed that two boys could not see anything on the blackboard. This led her to start this campaign, with an aim to raise awareness for eye care and bring a tangible change in society.
Chauhan’s mission is to enhance people's understanding of eye health, emphasising upon the importance of regular eye check-ups, proper eye care practices and most importantly, providing spectacles to children who cannot afford them.
Under this campaign, free eye check-up camps are set up at different NGOs and schools, where the eyes of children are tested, and they are provided free spectacles.
In the last two years, Chauhan has been able to raise Rs 5 lakhs for conducting eye camps which has benefitted 8,000 underprivileged children across Delhi NCR, creating a significant impact on the society. She mentioned that in the next phase of her campaign, she will provide assistance to those who need surgery for their eyes.
