These photos are from Hagaribommanahalli mega eye camp held on 15th Feb. 2013. Hagaribommanahalli is in Bellary district of Karnataka state, India. We conducted 241 cataract surgeries at the camp. The camp was sponsored by Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd., Medical & services division, Bangalore complex. It is a great pleasure to announce that we have received funds from HAL for conducting 1000 free IOL Cataract surgeries during the year. We have almost completed the target, the remaining 122 surgeries will be completed at Sedam in Gulbarga district on 15th March 2013. Sri Vivekananda Sevashrama thanks HAL for their magnanimity and hope to continue the same relationship during the coming years.
