The camp was conducted by Optometrist Indu Kapoor, Senior Manager at Sumesh Chandra Trust (Regd.), Jorian. Staff and students were provided with an opportunity to undergo eye check-ups and receive guidance on maintaining good eye health. The initiative highlighted the importance of regular eye examinations, early detection of vision-related problems, and healthy visual habits.
