NetraDan – The gift of sight through eye donations
In recognition of the critical shortage of corneal donations in India and the profound impact of vision restoration on individuals’ lives, Eye Mantra Foundation proudly introduces “NetraDan: Vision for Generosity”—an initiative focused on promoting eye donation pledges. Through this program, we aim to raise awareness, inspire generosity, and facilitate the gift of sight to those in need.
The mission of Vision for Generosity is to encourage individuals to pledge their eyes for donation after death, thereby contributing to the restoration of vision and the prevention of needless blindness.
