Jharkhand Governor asks people to understand importance of eye donation

Ms Murmu said programmes like these encourage the people to donate their eyes. She also lauded the efforts of such people who have donated their eyes and are now able to see the world. She said that in the state about 75,000 primitive tribes live whose children are suffering from malnutrition due to which they also suffer from sight related issues.

The governor asked the welfare department to organise health check up camps. The governor said that due to the lack of knowledge and superstitious the cases of eye donation have not increased as per expectations for which the NGOs and the intelligentsia needed to come forward and encourage the people.

Those present on the occasion included Welfare Minister Louis Marandi, Health Minister Ramchandra Chandravanshi, Jharkhand Khadi Board chairman Sanjay Seth and others.
