Bengaluru, February 1, 2025 – “Giving is not just about making a donation, it’s about making a difference.” This powerful saying truly encapsulated the spirit of today’s event at Narayana Nethralaya. It was a day filled with immense pride and gratitude for the generous contribution of Mr. Mridu Hari Dalmia, who donated 35 Aura Vision glasses to patients with low vision.
Mr. Dalmia, an industrialist and successful businessman from the renowned Dalmia family, is a philanthropist with a keen passion for making a difference in society. Mr. Dalmia’s contribution of Aura Vision glasses is a testament to his commitment to enhancing the quality of life for individuals with low vision. The event was held at Sheraton Grand at Brigade Gateway, Bengaluru, in collaboration with SHG Technologies, and was graced by the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Dalmia, Gp Capt S. K. Mittal VSM, CEO of Narayana Nethralaya, Mr. Seetharam Muthangi, CEO of SHG Technologies, Dr. Bhanumathi M., Head of the Department of Pediatric Ophthalmology, and Dr. Sumitha Muthu, Consultant, Pediatric Ophthalmology at Narayana Nethralaya. The event, as well as the recipients of the glasses, received blessings from ISKCON temple’s Shri Raghukul Nandandas Prabhuji.
Driven by deep humility and passion, Mr. M. H. Dalmia explained the powerful essence of donation: “I have to donate—this should be the first criterion for a true act of giving. It should be done without expecting anything in return—neither from the past nor in the future. Living by his father’s teachings—that it is more important to spend less on oneself and more on others, which is the true purpose of a society—he believes that those with visual impairments are gifted in many ways, but vision remains the most critical. Hence, he actively donates toward corneal transplants every year to give the gift of sight. His initiative of donating Aura Vision glasses is yet another addition to his exemplary philanthropic efforts.
After the event, Mr. & Mrs. Dalmia visited Narayana Nethralaya to see the facilities and understand about the advanced technology in eye care. For over 40 years, Narayana Nethralaya, in addition to technical and medical expertise, has been committed to a deeper purpose—making quality eye care accessible to all. This philosophy was laid down by our visionary founder, Late Dr. K. Bhujang Shetty. We have several initiatives like KIDROP, CVI treatment at our Buds to Blossoms clinic, our charitable hospital in Tumakuru, and nationwide eye donation drives that align with this philosophy.
“Medical services must evolve alongside technology to provide the best care. This is why we actively collaborate with technology experts to bring advanced solutions to our patients. Creating meaningful change requires like-minded individuals to come together, and the generous donation by Mr. Dalmia is a testament to this shared vision. His support strengthens our mission and reaffirms that compassion, when paired with action, can truly transform lives.” – Gp Capt S. K. Mittal VSM, CEO, Narayana Nethralaya
Mr. Seetharam Muthangi, CEO of SHG Technologies, expressed his gratitude to the esteemed dignitaries for their valuable contributions, which were instrumental in the success of the event. He also shared his admiration for Dr. Pooja Sarbajna and the CVI team at Narayana Nethralaya for their passion and continuous feedback, which motivated his team at SHG Technologies to overcome the challenges and successfully develop this complex device.
