These bulbs will be provided to the patients who have been operated for their cataract surgery in the hospital. This scheme is being launched with the financial assistance of Jeev Sewa Sansthan. With the help of Bhopal Utsav Mela Samiti, a free eye camp was held at Jehangirabad on last Sunday. They were later brought to Sewa Sadan Eye Hospital. Of these, 30 patients were operated on Monday and discharged on Tuesday. Siddh Bhauji gave two free lED bulbs to each patient. Office bearer of Bhopal Mela Utsav Samiti Vasdev Wadhwani also distributed fruits to eye patients on the occasion. It is learnt that Siddh Bhauji was told that even after their cataract surgery, many poor and old people cannot see the object in the night, because of the dim light in their shanties. If they use high power bulbs, in that condition their expenditure of energy increases, which these poor people cannot afford. Keeping this in the view Siddh Bhauji has decided to distribute two lED bulbs to each cataract patient at the time of their discharge from the hospital.
