These dedicated efforts lead to profound transformations—restoring sight, opening doors to new opportunities, and paving the way for a brighter future. Last fiscal year, Akhand Jyoti screened eyes of 7,95,339 people, and is committed to expanding this impact by 1.5 times in the coming year.

Another proud achievement for #AkhandJyoti! Six of our talented young players—Samma Parveen, Sabana Khatoon, Lucky Kumari, Srishti Kumari, Raushani Kumari, and Riya Kumari, all aged 12-13—have been selected for the Under-14 Football League! Since joining the Akhand Jyoti Arush Football Academy last year, these girls have been training under Coach Rajan Singh, combining their passion for football with a strong commitment to education. As part of our #Vision2030, we are steadfast in our commitment to empowering girls through sports and education. These six will now advance to train for the inter-district match, proudly representing the Saran district. 'Football to Eyeball' Girls' Education programme is a unique initiative empowering rural Bihar girls through football and education. It challenges gender norms and draws girls out of their homes. It combines sports with vocational training in optometry. This comprehensive program aims to create #socialchangeagents and develop girls as leaders, all while working to eliminate #curableblindness from rural, low-income areas.

In the quiet village of Sarnarayan, Bihar, Asarfi Devi lived a life full of colour and fragrance as a florist. However, as cataracts dimmed her vision, her flower shop—once a source of joy and income—became a symbol of her lost livelihood. Unable to distinguish the colours of her flowers, she struggled to maintain her business, and her role as the family's provider slipped away. She relied on her young grandchild to guide her through daily tasks, feeling the sting of helplessness with every step. But hope arrived when Akhand Jyoti visited her village for a free eye screening camp and provided her with cataract surgery at no cost. Akhand Jyoti's mission is not just to restore sight but to restore lives. Our approach targets the root causes of blindness and the socio-economic struggles that accompany it, particularly in rural India. This is more than just a medical intervention—it's a chance to make a lasting impact, turning despair into hope and dependence into independence. Supporting Akhand Jyoti means joining a transformative journey—one that not only heals eyes but also mends lives, empowers women, and lifts entire communities out of the shadows of poverty.

In the heart of rural Mastichak, Bihar, football isn't just a game—it's a catalyst for change. For many girls, football has become their gateway to empowerment and social transformation. Through Akhand Jyoti's innovative #FootballtoEyeball Girls Education Programme, football serves as more than just recreation. It's an ice-breaker that draws girls out of their homes, sheds their inhibitions, and ignites their potential to become change agents in their communities. These girls, once confined by societal norms, now stand tall as players on state and national platforms. Beyond the field, they are also future optometrists, driving forward Akhand Jyoti's mission to eliminate curable blindness. Their journey isn't just about kicking a ball; it's about breaking barriers, gaining education, and transforming lives. Today, as we celebrate #NationalSportsDay, we salute these courageous girls who have embraced football not only as a sport but as a tool for empowerment and social impact. They embody the spirit of resilience, teamwork, and ambition, showing us all what is possible when passion meets purpose. Join us in honouring their journey and celebrating the power of sports to change lives! #EmpowerGirls #FootballForChange #AkhandJyoti
