I've been working in Sankara Hospital for 3 days now, and it has been a life changing experience. I was very shocked to see a patient after a patient lying in beds.

This is my new office in Coimbatore.

CSC Sankara Team consists of 3 IBMers, JeongRan from Korea, Joao from Brazil and myself are working together to create a SOP knowledge management system for this hospital.  


Sankara was first formed in 1977 by Dr. Ramani to provide health care for poor.

In 1990, Dr. Ramani established a 3H program, HELP, HUNGER, HUMANITY and specialized the hospital for eye care with the vision of "Work towards freedom from preventable and curable blindness".

Today, Sankara hospital operates more than 200 patient "daily" for FREE  OF CHARGE to help poorest of the poor to cure their blindness. 


Did you know, it only takes US$30 to give a vision back to a blind person?

If you could spend your time of 30 seconds to watch this video, Sankara will be very appreciate.

Please spread the word around, even just to watch the video. Because, these people really need your help. I am seeing it in front of my eyes...

Dr. Ramani said to me, "After securing your life and your family, start think about others.".

I think, living in a city life sometimes makes us greedy and put blind eyes for poverty.

Sankara's door is open for anyone who would like to visit the hospital.





Sankara is working on 20/20 vision, which is to build 20 Sankara Eye Hospitals across rural area in India by 2020.

Today, 11 Sankara eye hospitals has been built in India and operating with the help of donations.

  1. Thank You Aya for sharing your vision through your eyes and in your words. Yes, we can somtime be so blind by our spoils, how ironic? Yes, the US$30 can also restore our vision. It’s a humbling win-win outcome.
