Ahilyanagar, May 2025: Bosco Gramin Vikas Kendra (BGVK), under the Rural Health and Nutrition Project supported by Cummins India Foundation, successfully organized a comprehensive Eye Check-Up Camp in Vitthalwadi village, located in the Phaltan block of Satara district. The initiative provided essential eye care services to 62 community members, reinforcing the organization’s commitment to accessible rural healthcare.

Eye Check-Up Camps like this play a pivotal role in the early detection of vision-related issues and the prevention of visual impairments.
