Rotary Eye Bank and Corneal Transplantation Society (Regd.)
was founded in 1998 by P.P. Rtn. J. B. Bahl who saw the need to enlighten the life of people who could not see because of damaged corneas.
Mr. Bahl’s passion to help people gain eyesight has made this a movement in Punjab. Taking calls at odd hours in the middle of night, he will start the process of getting the eyes from someone who passed away, console and counsel the family, contact fellow Rotarians, receiver, doctor, courier and others to ensure a smooth transfer of corneas.
The Society was formed with an aim to eradicate corneal blindness from Punjab, which has extended to the neighboring states of Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Rajasthan and Delhi.
