Organized jointly by the NSS Cell and the Institution’s Innovation Council (IIC), in collaboration with IRIS Superspeciality Eye Hospital, the camp saw over 150 individuals benefit from free eye care services.
Set up on the college campus, the camp was more than just a health drive—it was a step towards integrating wellness into education. A team of experienced ophthalmologists and optometrists from IRIS Superspeciality Hospital provided comprehensive eye screenings, specialist consultations, and preventive care advice. For many participants, this was their first opportunity to receive professional eye care.

NSS Coordinator Mr. Rupam Kumar Pal emphasized the role of such initiatives in shaping responsible and healthy individuals. “Our mission is to not only educate our students academically but also nurture their health and well-being,” he remarked.
Adding to this, IIC Coordinator Mr. Arunabha Datta reflected on the broader purpose behind the camp: “Innovation is not limited to technology alone—it also lies in how we care for our community. This eye camp is a perfect example of how institutional collaboration can create real-world impact.”
From the IRIS team, Marketing Executive Mr. Amroj Ahmed shared their vision: “Early detection and awareness are key to preventing avoidable vision problems. Through camps like this, we aim to extend quality eye care to communities and support the health of our future generations.”
Among the professionals who ensured smooth operations were Mr. Roshan Kumar, Senior Optometric, and Mr. Biplab Mandal, Ophthalmologist—both of whom worked tirelessly throughout the day.
Student volunteers played a crucial role in the success of the camp. From planning to logistics and assisting visitors, they managed each aspect with dedication.
