MFV TRANSFORMING LIVES

Baban Murlidhar Bhalke, lives in a village, Rajapur, Nashik, around twenty - five kilometers from Yeola

Tehsil. He is a farmer. Rajapur receives scarce rainfall; hence farmers depend on seasonal farming for

their sustenance. It is a harsh environment to live in. Baban and his wife stay alone since all their

children are married.

The twist of life for Baban took a nasty turn when his vision started deteriorating rapidly. He was

incapable of working thus his wife took up the burden of keeping them alive by working in the farm.

They lived lonesome lives, filled with gloom and despair with no solution in sight, resigned to their fate.

Light appeared on their darkened horizon. They heard about an eye camp held by Tulsi Eye

Hospital in their district. They visited the camp and Baban had his vision ailments diagnosed. His eyes

suffered from cataract and corneal opacity. He underwent surgery under the vigilant care provided by

the doctors of Tulsi Eye Hospital. The operation was successful and Baban came through rejuvenated

and filled with optimism. In their tough lives, this was a welcome break they received.

Baban is filled with gratitude towards the doctors at Tulsi Eye Hospital and the team of MFV for the new

lease of life he currently enjoys.
