<span style="font-size: small;">Just when the city of
dreams was celebrating the all famous Standard Chartered Marathon
with over 40k participates on the 17</span><sup><span style="font-size: small;">th</span></sup><span style="font-size: small;">
January 2016, there was an effort for a world record in its sister
city Navi Mumbai. Largest walk against blindness (eradicating
blindness and other eye related disorders) was conducted under the
title </span><span style="color: red;">“TAMASO MA
JYOTIRGAMAYA”</span><span style="font-size: small;"> by the </span><span style="color: red;">‘One
Vision Foundation’ </span><span style="font-size: small;">in coordination with

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">According to the managing
authorities of Rotary Club-it stood as one of their essential
responsibilities to turn the hi-tech Navi Mumbai city into a “NO
BLIND” zone; thus making it the true smart city. Currently, there
is a notable scarcity for </span><a href="https://www.bharatbook.com/searchresults.asp?title=eyes&srchtype=qik" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; font-size: small;"><b>eye</b></span></a><span style="font-size: small;">
corneas in the city and so there is a requirement to promote the
issue and create awareness about eye-donation and pledge. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The event for a grand
success as it received a whopping reaction from over 7500 people. The
participants ranged from all walks of life-the who’s who of Navi
Mumbai to government officials to celebrities. <br /><br /></span>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The part taking of 1200
school kids was the highlight as they created a human eye structure.
They were supported by 2000 college students and employees from more
than 100 organizations from in and around </span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3584738839635474983#International_Airport" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; font-size: small;"><b>Navi Mumbai</b></span></a><span style="font-size: small;">.<br /></span></div>
