Sightsavers India is pleased to announce that applications for the 2025 cohort of the prestigious are now open. According to a recent study, “Democratizing Access to World-Class Eye Care”, India with an estimated 25,000 ophthalmologists has just around 15 per million population. However, the urban-rural disparity exists here too with urban areas having one ophthalmologist for 10,000 people with rural areas far behind at one for every 2,50,000 people.

Corporates often remain focused on compliance rather than driving purpose-driven impact. However, the scenario can be changed by aligning CSR with business acumen, leveraging technology, and valuing transparency. And that will deliver enduring impact. India’s corporate social responsibility regime, formalised through Section 135 of the Companies Act (2013), mandates eligible companies to allocate 2 per cent of their net profits to social causes. Yet, despite this regulatory milestone, a significant proportion of CSR projects in India struggle to generate sustained impact, as highlighted by recent reports on implementation challenges and monitoring gaps. This is largely because CSR strategies often remain tethered to compliance, rather than evolving into authentic, purpose-driven initiatives that align with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles.
