RESTORING CHILDHOOD TO RURAL CHILDREN: Way back in 1995, Dr.Kashyap discovered to her horror that the increasing incidence of blindness in children of Jharkhand was directly proportional to the high drop out rates of children in government run schools. A sample eye screening of some 10,000 children, enrolled in state run schools at Ramgarh, some 40 kms from Ranchi helped confirm her hunch that untreated and undetected vision problems and dropping out of school, was closely linked.
Organising free eye camps to address the main causes of avoidable blindness soon became a passion. Till date, she has completed eye screening of more than 20 lakh children enrolled in state run schools of the state. The most noticeable impact was that thousands of children who had earlier dropped out of schools, due to undetected and untreated eye ailments are now happily back at their schools, after being provided free eye glasses and free phaco cataract surgery at charitable wing- Kashyap Memorial Eye Bank. To lend teeth to her fight against blindness, she has trained thousands of school teachers working in government schools all over the state, in primary detection of vision testing, cataracts, Vitamin A deficiency, squints and lazy eyes.
