Mission & Vision
The idea and need of a charitable trust was born out of the necessity of providing vision to all sections of the rural and urban population who are unable to access any primary eye care.

We strive hard to provide quality healthcare by considering”Your Good Vision as our Mission” to restore patients’ sight and transform their life for betterment.

Message from Chairman:
Our Beautiful Eyes allow us to appreciate the beauty of the world, experience the joy of living and more essential to lead a normal life.
But India with a burgeoning population harbors the largest number of blind people in the world. It’s more appalling to know that the mass counts over 1.6 crore people and most of them live in the poorest parts of the country with little or no access to even basic health care facilities.
Do you know that 85 percent of them could have been prevented from going blind if they had received timely treatment? poverty – which is both a cause and effect of blindness – can be very hard to break out of, especially in the rural areas where most blind people live.
We at Nayonika eye care charitable trust do everything to provide the best of Eye Heath services to the needy in time. Over the last 8 years, NECT has handled many projects related to eye health with awareness, treatment, and monitoring those aimed at helping all sections of the society in improving their vision.
We are happy to share that we have been blessed with generous donors and a dedicated team to accomplish our mission. We are always thankful to all those patrons who have been instrumental in inspiring us and have shown their unwavering support in our journey.
