✨ From Regaining Sight to Writing a Book ✨

At Amrita Hospital, Faridabad—the teaching hospital of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham’s School of Medicine—the gift of sight became the gift of a new life.

During the conclusion of Eye Donation Fortnight (Aug 25–Sep 7), donor families were honoured for their selfless decisions that made corneal transplants possible. Among them stood Ratan Rashmi Raina, who, after regaining her vision through treatment at Amrita Hospital, went on to author Udta Man Panchhi (उड़ता मन पंछी)—a book born of restored sight, memory, and hope.

Doctors Meenakshi Yadav Dhar and Rashmi Mittal reminded us that eye donation is more than a medical act—it is one human being giving another the chance to see life again.

🌿 The programme also featured awareness sessions, NGO recognitions, and creative outreach, reinforcing Amrita’s mission to combine medical excellence, compassion, and community impact.

💡 At Amrita University’s School of Medicine, every transplant, every donor family, and every patient story reflects our commitment to advancing healthcare and education together.
