In yet another initiative that reflects its commitment to student welfare and holistic development, Kshitij`25, the flagship inter-collegiate cultural festival of Mithibai College, organized a Free Eye Checkup Camp in collaboration with Bausch+Lomb on September 4, held at the Main Foyer of Mithibai College.
This special initiative was also held to mark the occasion of Teacher’s Day, as a gesture of appreciation and care towards the faculty members who tirelessly contribute to the academic and personal growth of students.
The camp, conducted from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, was open to all students and faculty members, and witnessed enthusiastic participation from across departments. With expert professionals on board, attendees received free, on-the-spot eye evaluations, a small yet crucial step toward promoting preventive healthcare on campus.
The initiative aimed to raise awareness around eye health, encourage early detection of vision issues, and make routine checkups more accessible to the college community. From students preparing for screen-heavy academic schedules to faculty members juggling long hours of work, the camp served as a convenient and valuable wellness opportunity.
Our principal, Prof. Krutika B Desai said,“It is heartening to see Kshitij`25 take the lead in promoting preventive healthcare. Activities like these reinforce our institution’s commitment to the overall development of our students, where wellness, awareness, and cultural engagement go hand in hand.”
The Chairperson of Kshitij`25, Bhoomi Shah shared, “Health is an integral part of student life, and through this camp, we wanted to ensure that something as essential as eye care doesn’t get overlooked. Kshitij is not just about cultural celebration but also about meaningful engagement, and this camp is a reflection of that vision.”
The camp was met with positive feedback, with many participants appreciating the initiative and hoping for similar wellness-driven activities in the future. As Kshitij`25 progresses toward its main event, such activations continue to showcase the festival’s dedication to creating impact both on and beyond the stage.
