"Aap ne meri dunya roshan kar di. Main Mahavir International ka shukar guzar hoon or ta-umra rahunga"

These words were uttered by Mohd Akram, 50 years, residing in the JJ cluster of Tilak Nagar. A carpenter by profession, he earned his living visiting house to house for work. Having already lost vision in his right eye, he had been experiencing problems in his left eye as well. Due to extreme poverty and lack of proper guidance he could not get treatment leading to total blindness. "My world was submerged in darkness", he said, and he was also plagued with nightmares about feeding his family. It was then that a family that he'd worked with recommended Mahavir International's Rajdhani Charitable hospital. He was operated on 25th March'04 for Kala Motia (Glaucoma). Now, being able to see from both eyes, he has started his work with renewed zest.
