SECT was started in 2004 with a faith – "A willingness to ensure positive and quality eye care to the underprivileged". As a part of a strategic approach, SECT tries to reach the 'needy' community, by conducting community eye screening camps in the rural, tribal and slum areas for early identification of treatable and preventable blindness with the objective of giving the gift of sight to the individuals suffering from avoidable blindness with care and compassion.   Cataract eye screening camps are regularly conducted in various rural, tribal and urban locations.

It is a community- driven model where patients are provided with free food, accommodation and transportation during their stay with and at SECT.     We have so far reached 400000 populations affected by avoidable blindness with comprehensive eye screening and surgical camps of 2000 touching 70000 lives with gifting sight.     Shraddha Eye Care Trust’s (SECT) objective is to decrease the burden of blindness by rendering cross-subsidization services. SECT has been making a change in the lives of thousands of guests from poorest among poorer communities since 2004 towards a clear vision, to see better and in preventing avoidable blindness.

The vision of Shraddha Eye Care Trust is to empower people and communities suffering from vision loss by ensuring access to high-quality, affordable eye health care, while their mission is to restore sight to those afflicted by avoidable blindness with care and compassion.
