In 2023, Susumoi Das (75), Arati Das (60), and Pramila Das (63) were struggling with significant cataract buildup in both eyes, which made their daily lives difficult. Without access to proper eye care facilities, their village community leader sent them to a specialized eye camp organized by ACRD under the "SBI Sanjeevani on Wheels" initiative in Chandanpur village, Tamulpur district. After being screened at the camp on March 28, 2023, they were operated on free of charge at the Guwahati Eye Centre on April 6, 2023. All three have since recovered well.
