A collaboration between the Government of Goa, Prasad Netralaya, and OneSight Foundation to conduct an eye health program for government school children is a commendable initiative aimed at improving the vision health and well-being of young students.

I was deeply honoured to be appointed as an Organising Committee Board Member of the Middle East Ophthalmic Society, reflecting commitment to advancing ophthalmic science and fostering professional collaboration. I was also privileged to receive the Participation Award from the Karnataka Ophthalmic Society and the Service to MEOM Academy Award from the MEOM Academy in recognition of dedication, active involvement, and significant contributions to ophthalmic education and service.
