Aravind started in 1976 as an 11-bed eye clinic in an old temple-city. Today it is the largest and most productive eye care facility in the world. Taking its compassionate services to the doorstep of rural India, Aravind's stunningly effective strategies vaulted barriers of distance, poverty and ignorance to create a self-sustaining system that now treats over 1.7 million patients each year, two-thirds of them, for free.

  • SO proud to know that not all indians are killing, stealing, begging and bribing

  • The power of duplication

  • I learned of Arivind from a biophotonics workshop at the U of I. I think this program is a great manifestation that it doesn't take 10 years to learn how to do a surgery. It just takes volunteer power, commitment, and the willingness to be steady and careful.

    Go Arivind! (from a Muslim:)

  • Nice video!

  • The word "needless" is actually a direct translation of a hindi word :)

  • Great Model for Health Care as well as Development!

  • America Needs to WAKE up and start to Teach this kind of WORK...to help our own Outdated and Greedy care system...that is a failure Financially and MUST do this Kind of Service in all areas of care...Americans need to LEARN and accept other Nations Success in Solving Huge Humanitarian problems...PROFIT is not King...it is a KILLER...This is a Film and a story All Americans should favorite Five Star and SHARE....I will make this a daily share...a must share...Amen

  • Great program - but "needless" blindness should be changed. There's no such thing as needed blindness. "Treatable" would make more sense.

  • Shows the richness of humanity of Dr.V. A legend and inspirer for many.
