Dhankot, district Gurgaon in Haryana, approximately 30 km from international airport at Delhi under the management of, P1692, Venu Charitable Society. A medical eye care satellite set up with CBM assistance in 1998. The project was earlier combined with the main tertiary centre for purposes of CBM budgets. It has now been bifurcated with effect from budget 2006 for better monitoring and evaluation. The catchment area covers the entire district of Gurgaon with a population of 2 million. Agriculture is the main occupation but migrant agricultural labour and farmers with marginal holdings constitute the urban and rural poor in need of services. The project provides comprehensive community eye care services and has reached a significant level of self-sufficiency. |
