Gomabai Netralaya always welcomes people who wish to get involved in our community programs and philanthropic activities. There are many ways an individual can participate in or support a cause to prevent blindness.
Outreach Program
One of the main reasons for establishing Gomabai Netralaya, by our founder Shri G. D. Agrawalji was to make available the best eye-care to remotest areas in our region at their doorstep and to offer free treatment to the needy. Towards this end we regularly organize rural outreach screening programs in different Districts of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. Over the years we have developed a strong and committed network of volunteers/supporters who help us in organizing screening camps in remote rural locations. More than 1,250 screening programs have been organized till date. Over 3 lakhs poor people have benefited from eye examinations and more than 80,000 surgeries have been performed on outreach patients, all these free of cost.
Vidya Jyothi Eye Health Project
Gomabai Netralaya, with the support of Sightsavers India, successfully implemented a mega school screening program between 2022 and 2024. The program titled as "Vidya Jyothi Eye Health Program' screened more than 01 Lakh 50 Thousand School students in Pratapgarh District with active participation from the District Education Department. This program trained more than 1100 school teachers along-with 50 teachers as master trainers.
