Overview
Aravind Eye Hospital was founded in 1976 by Dr. G. Venkataswamy a man known to most of us simply as Dr. V. In an eleven bed hospital manned by 4 medical officers he saw the potential for what is today one of the largest facilities in the world for eye care. Over the years this organization has evolved into a sophisticated system dedicated to compassionate service for sight. The Aravind Eye Care System now serves as a model for India and the rest of the world.
