Slides on eye donation were shown at the city’s cinema halls. In Bhubaneswar the staff of drushti daan eye bank gave a talk to the students and faculty of Xavier’s Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar. Two eye screening camps were conducted in association with the Lions Club and Indian Oil Corporation at Cuttack and Sisupalgarh.

Though the eye donation theme was a challenge, the children expressed their thoughts in wonderfully original ways through their paintings (pictures below).
