These are Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) Projects implemented on Comprehensive Eye Services (CES) approach as part of the district level initiative. The projects aimed to identify and rehabilitate visually impaired people, empower disabled people through the formation of a DPO (Disabled Peoples Organisation) at the block level and federating it to the District level. The projects also referred cases identified with cataract to base hospital run by Urmul Jyoti in the district and the district hospital thereby reducing the prevalence of cataract blindness.
