Sankara Nethralaya
It was in 1976 when addressing a group of doctors His Holiness Sri Jayendra Saraswathi the Sankaracharya of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam spoke of the need to create a eye hospital with a missionary spirit
His words marked the beginning of a long journey to do Gods own work
On the command of His Holiness Dr Sengamedu Srinivasa Badrinath along with a group of philanthropists founded a charitable notforprofit eye hospital
One that would bring worldclass eye care to the people of India One that would adopt a single standard of care for all rich or poor One that would share the fruits of its knowledge and spread its concept of care to distant parts of this country
In a solemn function held at the premises of the Vijaya Hospital with Semmangudi Srinivasa Aiyer offering the prayer Mrs Dr T Agarwal inaugurated the project
On the auspicious day of Vinayaka Chaturthi the sixth day of September in the year 1978 the hospital came into existence
