Vedanta Charitable Trust
Vedanta Charitable Trust is a part of Vedanta Jyoti Eye Hospital which is state of art NABH- approved hospital in Roorkee, Uttarakhand. 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. As we know, eyes are meant to appreciate the beauty of the world, experience the joy of learning new activities and undertake new adventures, but there are medically-deprived population, comprised of young school children, who wouldn’t have normal visual & personal development without early diagnosis & treatment.
In the backdrop of this situation, the concept of Vedanta Charitable Trust was established in the year 2020 by Dr. A.K.Mehrotra, Dr. Vipul Arora & Dr. Preeti Arora with the aim to reduce the number of visually challenging population in India. Vedanta Charitable Trust wishes to provide affordable/subsidized eye care services for cataract surgeries, refractive errors, diabetic retinopathy and other medical issues to economically weaker section of the society.
The trust is dedicated to the advancement of eye and vision care through awareness treatment and monitoring, We strive hard to provide utmost care to all the communities by providing comprehensive visual health services.

- To provide easy access to cataract surgery to everyone.

- To enhance health seeking behaviour of the community in order to avail eye care services.
