Are we happy with last year’s progress ? Yes and No. Yes, because we were able to restore sight to more than 32,000 people. No, because we are still lagging behind our aim of eliminating the backlog of cataract blindness in Bihar.

the founder of Gayatri Pariwar, has inspired millions to reform their thoughts for the betterment of self, family & the society. The three principles of good living namely imbibing the ideals & values of God, self restraint & self refinement and selfless public service laid down by him have guided us through our work amongst the rural mass. His writings continue to inspire people to solve the problems of life.
