“March to a Million is a Magnificent Obsession!”

Dr R.V. Ramani, Founder, and Managing Trustee of Sankara Eye Foundation, India, acknowledging the mammoth task ahead, said that the collective obsession of Sankara and all the partners will take it forward towards its goal.

During the third annual March to a Million seminar of Sankara Eye Foundation, USA, in Mumbai, Dr. Ramani related this obsession with a story from Tamil Nadu.

When You Are Down, Lift Someone Up!

“In Tamil Nadu”, he said, “there is a saying. ‘There is a huge temple car in every village. It cannot be pulled by one, two, or even three people; the entire village needs to join forces to pull the car in a certain direction.’

Similarly, here is a mission which is an obsessive mission. To reach out to 1,000,000 people every year, each partner organization has to join hands. In this journey, we have to be steadfast. We have to reach out to people without compromising on quality and at the same time, giving love and compassion to every single individual, irrespective of their socio-economic status”, he said.

So many of us have joined together with unanimity of purpose. With this unanimity, we’re going to approach this cause. And we will move towards success.”
