Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani on Sunday announced the launch of 'ACE - Adani Centre for Eye Diseases' in collaboration with Akhand Jyoti Hospital and the Adani Foundation, saying the initiative aims to provide accessible and affordable eye treatment to people in need.

He also said that "ATOM - Adani Training Centre for Ophthalmic Medicine" will help prepare a new generation of eye specialists and women healthcare workers.

"We are joining hands with Adani Foundation and Akhand Jyoti Hospital to launch 'ACE - Adani Centre for Eye Diseases, which will be a major effort to provide accessible and affordable eye care to those in need," Gautam Adani said.

"At the same time, through ATOM - Adani Training Centre for Ophthalmic Medicine, we will prepare a new generation of eye specialists and women healthcare workers," the billionaire industrialist said.

According to Gautam Adani, the initiative is aimed at expanding quality eye care services across the country in the coming years.

"Restoring a person's eyesight is not merely medical treatment, but a way of bringing back hope, confidence and dignity in their life," the Adani Group Chairman said during his visit to Mastichak in Bihar, where he visited the Gayatri Shaktipeeth and praised the social service efforts being carried out by Gayatri Parivar and Akhand Jyoti.

"Service is not just a slogan for us, it is the inspiration to turn compassion into action," Gautam Adani said.

He added that the 'Adani Akhand Jyoti Trust' will continue to work with dedication and sensitivity towards humanitarian causes.

The billionaire industrialist also announced a commitment of more than Rs 700 crore over the coming years to support these service-oriented healthcare initiatives.

Calling Bihar a land that has historically given new direction and consciousness to the nation, Gautam Adani said the campaign is an effort to spread "new light" across the country through service, values and commitment.

Dr Priti G. Adani, Chairperson of the Adani Foundation, also praised the humanitarian work being carried out by Akhand Jyoti Hospital and Gayatri Parivar.

Impressive commitment of ₹700 crore for eye care in Bihar. But I hope this is not just a PR move. We need genuine transparency in how these funds are actually spent on the ground. The ATOM training center for women healthcare workers sounds like a great idea though.

Yeh toh bahut khoobsurat initiative hai! Eye care itna important hai specially Bihar mein jahan kai log cataract aur blindness se pareshan hain. Dr Priti Adani ka Akhand Jyoti hospital ke kaam ki tarif karna dil ko chhuye. Aise corporate-social partnerships ki zaroorat hai. 🙏

₹700 crore is a huge sum. But I have to ask – why does this always have to be tied to election announcements or political visits? True service shouldn't need a press release. However, if it genuinely helps Bihar's visually impaired, then good for them. Let's see the follow-through.

Bihar ke liye yeh bahut accha notification hai. Hamari state mein specially ankho ki bimari kaafi common hai. Main personally Akhand Jyoti hospital ke kaam ko dekha hoon, bahut achcha kaam kar rahe hain. Adani Group ka partnership se aur bhi faida hoga. Lekin ek baat – yahan pe quality staff ki bhi kami hai, ATOM center se woh bhi door hoga shayad.
