Operation DRISHTI is a major humanitarian medical initiative undertaken by the Indian Army and Indian Air Force to provide advanced eye care services. The mega surgical eye camp was organised at Military Hospital Namkum in Ranchi, Jharkhand, from June 15 to 19, 2026. Led by Brigadier Dr Sanjay Kumar Mishra, the specialised ophthalmic team aimed to perform more than 200 free advanced eye surgeries. Beneficiaries included ex-servicemen, their dependents, serving personnel, and underprivileged civilians. The programme reflects the armed forces' commitment to combining medical expertise with community service, thereby improving healthcare access and supporting social welfare initiatives.
