The Lion’s club has been in the fore front in the battle against blindness the world over for more than 8 decades which is almost a century.

I have had the privilege of being a partner and participant in their joint efforts with us in this direction and I can declare with confidence that the long partnership between the Lion’s Club of Central Madras and Sankara Nethralaya has been a ‘roaring’ success and an outstanding example of a great and spirited partnership between two dedicated NGO’s deeply committed to the noble cause of providing quality healthcare to the public.
