EIILM-Kolkata’s Towards Life Foundation Inaugurates Ultadanga Centre with Free Eye Check-Up Camp

August 12, 2025: Towards Life Foundation (TLF), the socio-environmental initiative of EIILM-Kolkata, marked a new milestone with the inauguration of its Ultadanga centre, accompanied by a free eye check-up camp in association with Susrut Eye Foundation & Research Centre. The initiative reflects TLF’s continued focus on accessible healthcare and holistic community development.

Unlike conventional CSR projects, TLF is deeply integrated into EIILM-Kolkata’s academic framework, with students contributing as active changemakers. Each student dedicates 20 hours to teaching spoken English to underprivileged children — a first-of-its-kind initiative by a private educational institute in Kolkata. The foundation’s work extends beyond education to areas like child nutrition, health, and co-curricular activities under its mission “Prana Dipti – The Glowing Vital,” aimed at restoring dignity and opportunity to children from marginalized urban communities.

The day-long eye camp offered vision and color tests, AI-assisted fundus photography, BP and blood sugar checks for those above 50, free spectacles, subsidized cataract surgery scheduling, and consultations in specialized fields such as retina, glaucoma, and paediatric eye care. A structured patient flow ensured smooth service from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM. Prof. (Dr.) R. P. Banerjee emphasized that TLF’s work stems from solidarity, not charity, while CEO Mrs. Sipra Banerjee called the new centre a reaffirmation of commitment to the community. Since its inception in 2006, TLF has impacted hundreds of lives across Kolkata’s underserved areas. The new Ultadanga centre promises to deepen its reach, keeping alive its guiding vision: “Let’s wipe off all tears from the dimming eyes.”
