From Darkness to Light: The Mahto Brothers’ Journey

05 June 2023, Giridih: In the village of Dhurgadgi, Jharkhand, Shri Nirpat Mahto and Shri Bandhan Mahto, two elderly brothers relying on agriculture, faced cataracts that robbed them of their vision and livelihood. However, a screening camp organized by Vimla Ramkrishna Bajaj Eye Hospital (VRBEH)-Deoghar, in their locality sponsored by Naraindas Morbai Budhrani Trust, offered them hope and a path towards recovery.

At the camp, Nirpat and Bandhan received the diagnosis of cataracts, prompting their families to consent to their surgeries at VRBEH-Deoghar, sponsored by NMBT. The skilled medical team successfully removed the cataracts, restoring the brothers’ eyesight and empowering them with newfound freedom.

Reclaiming Independence: With clear vision once again, Nirpat and Bandhan emerged from the hospital with renewed confidence, thanks to the surgeries sponsored by NMBT. They joyfully resumed their responsibilities in agriculture and animal husbandry, feeling unburdened by their former blindness.

The brothers’ remarkable journey, supported by NMBT, spread hope throughout the village, inspiring others with vision impairments to seek help. The success of their surgeries at VRBEH-Deoghar, made possible with the support of NMBT, became a beacon of possibility, ensuring a brighter future for those living with visual impairments.

Shri Nirpat Mahto and Shri Bandhan Mahto’s transformation from darkness to light highlights the life-changing impact of accessible healthcare. Thanks to the screening camp and the expertise of VRBEH-Deoghar’s medical team, the brothers regained their sight, independence, and ability to contribute to their community. Their story serves as a testament to the power of compassion and medical expertise, as well as the generosity of Naraindas Morbai Budhrani Trust, in restoring hope and transforming lives.
