This was added to comprehensive
Eye Care Programme in 1997. A survey is undertaken to cover any block
for the project to identify curable blinds to be treated at the
hospital and incurable blinds to be rehabilitated. Aged blinds were
given training for social mobility and youth were trained for economic
rehabilitation in different vocations like petty shop, animal husbandry
and benefit of Govt. schemes like certificate of blindness, free bus
pass, pension scheme etc. More than 90 clients have been rehabilitated
economically. Many of them have been provided with interest free loans
by SEWA Rural. 17 young clients have been sent to Tatawadi
Fansa for 2 years total free training in
agricultural activities. 4 out of them have completed training & Tatawadi has supported them financially to purchase
land or equipments. The unique experiment of adding primary Eye care to
traditional CBR was done for first time in the country. This includes
school screening, Identificationing cataract
cases, distribution of vitamin A, capsules, vaccination, health
education & primary treatment.
Under the programme, population of Jhagadia, Valia, Dediapada Sagbara and Nandod blocks was covered.
