Eye Donation
BADHTE KADAM found that there is awareness for eye donation to a certain level but the execution was missing because there was a lack of prompt action of getting the eyes operated and transplanted in a swift and prompt way with perfect timing. Badhte Kadam started visiting the houses of the deceased and expressing condolence with the bereaved family and requesting them to donate the eyes of the deceased person. They got huge success. They coordinated with specialized eye hospitals and their expert doctors and handled the logistic part so that not only eyes can be operated on but also transplanted to the needy person. So for six hundred and eighty-eight eye donations have been made in the last 13 years. It is so inspiring that Badhte Kadam has been able to fulfill the requirements of Raipur city and is now planning to provide it to the other cities of India also.
Earlier there used to be a waiting list of aspirants for cornea but due to the untiring efforts of Badhte Kadam, the waiting list is finished. Not only that but the eye banks are able to supply cornea to the aspirants of the other cities also.
