His tireless efforts, along with those of the Aravind team, have grown into the sophisticated array of community outreach activities Aravind has in place today. Although Dr.V passed away in 2006, I believe he would have enjoyed reading the synthesis of his outreach work presented in this book along with the growing number of examples from other parts of the world. AUTHOR’S STATEMENT The unreached must be reached. The inaccessible must become accessible. Community outreach plays a vital role in extending awareness of eye problems and their solutions into communities not normally served by eye hospitals, eye care clinics and ophthalmology practices. Outreach also helps an eye care institution attain its social mission and meet its potential, because it promotes the services of the institution while meeting the needs of the community. Community outreach must be a holistic part of what an eye care institution provides - a central and ongoing aspect, not a one-time or occasional activity. Outreach is simply part of the way that eye care programmes should do business. - R. Meenakshi Sundaram Mr. R. Meenakshi Sundaram (“RMS” to his friends and colleagues) is the Senior Manager of Community Outreach at Aravind Eye Care System, based in Madurai in southern India.

  • Six Metre News From: Australia
    THE CLASSIC SIX METRE NEWSLETTER 1907 - 2013 Number 15 Founded in 1993 by Tim Street April 2013 www.classicsixmetrenews.org Editors: Thilo Durach & others [email protected] Editorial Dear Friends First of all I have to apologize. Already a year ago, Tim Street and Basil Carmody asked me to take over the Classic Six Metre Newsletter. With my background in publishing I was happy to face that challenge, that was very well done the last years. As you may remember, I started last summer with a little email, asking for information about your boats, restoring projects, your area and some materi- al arrived. But, I was still not finished with Carmela, a Gustav Estlander Design from 1924 which a friend of mine, Walter Kuhlmann, and me worked on for about three years at that point. Our great aim was to appear at the European Championships in Nynäshamn last year. We worked hard, and there was no time left for the Newsletter. Finally we made it with Carmela to the regatta, but after that event, I was burned out a bit, about the Six Metre subject. It took me some time, but now here is the number 15 of the Classic Six Metre Newsletter. I am convinced about this classic newsletter distribution, but I also recognize the advantages of other media. Douglas Reincke and others, established a Six Metre information platform in the social net- work Facebook. Understanding all the concerns about Facebook, it is a wonderful tool to transport and publish information and pictures just in a second.

  • Overview of Aravind Educational Programs
    There is a Power within that knows beyond Our knowings; we are greater than our thoughts, And sometimes earth unveils that vision here. To live, to love are signs of infinite things, Love is a glory from eternity’s spheres. Abased, disfigured, mocked by baser mights That steal his name and shape and ecstasy, He is still the godhead by which all can change.

Over the last 30 years, Aravind has contributed extensively to prevention of blindness in the country. In 2005, 1, 91,158 surgical procedures were performed. In view of the existing backlog of cataract and other causes of blindness, India requires many more institutions of this kind. Aravind Eye Hospitals has gained national and international reputation for its ser- vice orientation, modern ophthalmic techniques and its community-based outreach ac- tivities which deliver quality eye care to the rural masses. Its operational research has practical applications in the formulation of effective blindness prevention programmes. To take on the challenge of blindness, Aravind has recognised the need to develop human resource - ophthalmologists, paramedics and support service personnel.

  • (CSR) Policy Strives to Transform India Into a Risk-Aware Society from Being a Risk-Averse Society
    Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy strives to transform India into a risk-aware society from being a risk-averse society. We aim to integrate social, environmental and health concerns of the Indian society into Corporation’s CSR policy and programmes. Our CSR activities have focused on capacity building, empowerment of communities, inclusive socio-economic growth, environment protection, promotion of green and energy efficient technologies, development of backward regions, and uplifting the marginalized and under- privileged sections of the society. Nowadays CSR goes beyond charity and requires the company to act beyond its legal obligations. It rests on the ideology of give and take. Companies take resources in the form of raw materials, human resources etc. from the society. By performing the task of CSR activities, the companies are giving something back to the society. In the changing business environment, doing well (profit) and doing good (caring) are not mutually exclusive but mutually reinforcing. There has been a paradigm shift from the way business was done earlier to how it should be done today. It's no longer a question if companies should engage in CSR, it’s now a question of to what extent will they do so, and how they will create and communicate real and meaningful impact.

It gave energy, hope and inspiration to scores of ophthalmologists to combat it. And for that and much more, we celebrate his life. Dr. G. Venkataswamy, Aravind’s Founder Chairman was born on October 1,1918 . The year 2018 marks his birth centenary. As we take stock of the achievements Aravind has made in the last year, we reminisce the great visionary’s life - how from simple beginnings, he developed Aravind into a sophisticated system dedicated to compassionate service.
