This award is in recognition of the Foundation's significant and holistic contributions in the field of Quality, for providing best-in-class quality eye care treatment in the country, cutting across economic and social disparities.

On receiving the Award & Recognition, Dr. R.V. Ramani, Founder and Managing Trustee, Sankara Eye Foundation, said, "Quality is synonymous with the pursuit of excellence. We at Sankara Eye Foundation India, through all our Hospitals across the nation, have been constantly infusing quality consciousness in the minds of every single Employee of Team Sankara. It is not only high volume, but it is high quality eye care to all, irrespective of their socio-economic conditions. Quality need not be compromised in the name of Charity. Being recognized with the coveted 'Quality Champion Award' from the prestigious Quality Council of India is indeed an honor and privilege for us."

The Foundation practices the 80:20 model, wherein 80% of the beneficiaries are the rural poor who receive totally free eye care, whereas the rest of the 20% are the affordable section of society, who pay for their treatment, thereby making the institution self-sustaining. Through the "Gift of Vision" initiative, Sankara Eye Foundation has so far conducted over 2.3 million free eye surgeries and screened over 5.7 million people for better visual outcomes.

Sankara Eye Foundation constantly monitors and evaluates its performance to ensure that everyone gets unmatched treatment without compromise on quality and to provide cost-effective, readily available world-class eye care treatment at the doorsteps of rural India.
