Mumbai: Over 1.1 million people in India suffer from corneal blindness, most of whom could regain sight through eye donation, highlighted Jaya Jairam, Project Director at MOHAN Foundation, at Mera Sapna — a soulful awareness event organised under the foundation’s Netradan Project at the Mysore Association Auditorium, Matunga. The event blended music, hope, and a shared vision of eliminating corneal blindness.
Empowering Dreams Through Eye Donation
The initiative aimed to empower the dreams of individuals living with corneal blindness and their families, encouraging pledges for eye donation. A standout moment of the morning was a moving recital by students from Smt Kamla Mehta School for the Blind, Dadra whose performances resonated deeply with the audience.
Musical Celebration of Vision and Giving
Musical contributions by teachers and students of the Shankar Mahadevan Academy (a not-for-profit trust) further elevated the event, celebrating vision, generosity, and the gift of giving.
Every Pledge Makes a Difference
Jaya Jairam also said, “Every pledge is a promise to light up someone’s world,” and added that the event was organised in association with Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance Company Limited.
Participation from Volunteers and Students
The event drew around 300 participants, including volunteers, members of the public, and NSS students from colleges such as MD College Parel, Somaiya College, SIES College, Gurunanak Khalsa, and Gurunanak Junior College, GTB Nagar. All internship and volunteering activities were mentored by MOHAN Foundation.
