Door-to-Door Screening Programme by Akhand Jyoti
Door-to-Door Screening Programme
For many underserved families across India, access to TIMELY EYE CARE remains out of reach. Our DOOR-TO-DOOR SCREENING PROGRAMME is designed to ensure that no individual is left untreated due to distance, poverty, or lack of awareness.
Reaching households across rural India, the programme connects patients with professional eye care at their doorstep. Community mobilisers conduct primary screenings, and those requiring further assessment are guided to the nearest Vision Centre for diagnosis, spectacles, and continued care.
Patients identified with cataracts or other conditions needing intervention are connected to TIMELY TREATMENT and where necessary, to surgical teams at our Centre of Excellence — sustaining the lifelong journey of RESTORED SIGHT and RENEWED INDEPENDENCE.

At the heart of the programme are the DRISHTI SALAHKAARS: trained COMMUNITY MOBILISERS who come from the very villages they serve.
As familiar and trusted faces within the community, they help BRIDGE THE GAP between rural households and essential eye care services. Their work begins with DIRECT HOUSEHOLD VISITS, where they speak with families about cataracts and other eye diseases, address concerns, and help reduce fear around treatment.
By creating awareness, conducting preliminary screenings, and identifying patients who may need surgery, they ensure that individuals from underprivileged and hard-to-reach communities are connected to TIMELY MEDICAL CARE.
