The NSS Unit and Department of Pharmacy Practice of NGSM Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences jointly organised a guest lecture on “Eye Donation Awareness” by Dr. Vijay Pai, Professor & Head, Department of Ophthalmology, K.S. Hegde Medical Academy on 29th August, 2018 at Nitte University Auditorium, Paneer Campus, Mangaluru. Welcoming the guest, staff and students, the Principal, Dr. C. S. Shastry explained the importance of eye donation and said – Illuminating the life of visually impaired is an act of divinity and a gift which cannot be equalled. Dr. Vijay Pai through his thoroughly educative and appealing presentation caught the attention of the students and urged them to spread the awareness of eye donation in society. He said age or systemic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, kidney disease are not barriers for eye donation. The cornea of the donors is unaffected even if they have undergone any eye surgeries in the past and can still be useful to be transplanted in others. The Vice-Principal, Dr. R. Narayana Charyulu presented Dr. Pai with a memento. Dr. Juno J. Joel, member of NSS Unit, proposed the Vote of thanks. The lecture session saw active participation of the teaching, non-teaching staff members, NSS volunteers and students.
