About Us
We are AKCMCareS Outreach Foundation
AKCMCareS Outreach Foundation (Ajit Kumar Chakrabarti Memorial Charitable Society) is an 80G 12A certified NGO collaborating with Renuka Eye Institute to provide extensive eye-care services. Our ‘DRISHTI-VAHAN’ mobile eye van, launched in 2022, transports patients from remote areas of North 24 Parganas to hospitals for surgery, returning them home post-surgery. Since inception, we’ve conducted free eye camps and surgeries under India’s National Programme for Control of Blindness and West Bengal’s Chokher Alo. Soon, we’ll equip the van with modern facilities like computerized eye check-ups, slit-lamp screening, and tele-ophthalmic units to offer free doorstep screenings for preventable visual impairments.
