Annual Report

Dear Well Wisher,

We are pleased to present to you the !rst Annual Report of Shubham Netraseva Trust for the
year 2017-18.

Based on teachings of Mahatma Gandhiji that real India is situated in her Villages, we like-minded
people founded Shubham Netraseva Trust in August 2017 to serve our fellow Indians living in Rural-
Tribal areas with sole intention to provide Comprehensive Eye Services with maintaining quality at every
level of eye care.We proposed to build an Eye Hospital in the vicinity of Vansda to serve rural-tribal people
in the areas of Navsari, Valsad, Tapi, The Dangs districts of South Gujarat and of Nashik district of
Maharashtra state bordering Gujarat. This will make sure people don’t go blind without proper treatment.
Treatment will be totally free for poor people and highly subsidized for rest others.

We kept visiting and urging prominent people in Vansda to donate land for this good cause for
almost a year. At last by grace of God trust has received donation of 1Acre of Land in Sitapur. Land is
donated by Philanthropy minded persons Mr. Sanjaybhai and Mr. Priteshbhai Bhakta from neighbouring
Manpur Village.We on behalf of board of trustees and all well wishers heartily thank their great donation
for the betterment of the society. This was a historic decision by the Bhakta family and historic for whole
region.

We have proposed the name of Hospital in the name of their grand Mother Late Mrs. Tapiben
Lallubhai Bhakta. The tentative name of hospital would be “Tapiba Eye Hospital”.
As a part of activities, we have started eye camps every month at various places in and around
Vansda. Response of the community to these camps is very much encouraging as if they just waited for
someone to cater for their eye care needs. Patients from these areas have now started entrusting us for
their Vision Care.

Ever since we started the trust, the support from the every section of society has been
encouraging and we look forward the same in future too. Special mention is required for Divyajyoti trust,
Mandvi and Sewa Rural, Jhagadia for their technical as well as moral support. Dr Anilbhai Desai and Dr
Lataben Desai, founders of Sewa Rural, have always remained our inspirational !gures who directed our
minds in sel”ess service to poorest of the poor of the society led by their own examples. Dr. Udaybhai
Gajiwala of Divyajyoti Trust has also played a pivotal role in making us understand how community can be
served with a blend of technology and team work. These three personalities have taught us a success
mantra- “Simple living and high thinking”. We are lucky that we have blessings of them.

Lastly we, on behalf of Board of Trustees, sincerely request all philanthropists of India to Donate
and support us in every way possible to build an eye Hospital with good infrastructure, instruments and
equipments so that our Visually Impaired and Blind people regain their Eye Sight.

Our motto is “To eliminate Blindness from the tribal India” and we together will make it happen
through our collective efforts.
