2. Introduction & History
Introduction:
When there is purity of intention behind any purpose, an entire world can be conquered.
One such vision is the driving force behind Kalavati Sadhuram Alimchand Trust (KSAT). The vision was the brainchild of
Shri Sadhuram Alimchand, a successful entrepreneur with a flourishing business in West Indies. One day, he dreamt of
a blind child painfully finding his way on an empty street. The image stirred something deep within him. He shared his
dream with his wife, Smt Kalavati and in an instant their purpose in life became crystal clear. Their lives would
henceforth be dedicated to the cause of the visually handicapped. Unfortunately, Mr. Sadhuram did not live long to
fulfill his dream. But undaunted, Smt Kalavathi decided to breathe life into her husband’s extraordinary vision. After
disposing some property, she, along with a group of like minded people formed the Kalavati Sadhuram Alimchand
Trust (KSAT) in 1968 and invited Lions Club of Hyderabad to establish a charitable eye hospital as a joint venture, as
Lions Club of Hyderabad had many service minded reputed Eye Surgeons in its fold. Moreover, Lions Clubs have
international reputation and are known for their philanthropic and self-less service & have adopted Madame Helen
Keller as their role model.
History:
The Hospital Building was provided by Kalavati Sadhuram Alimchand Trust and initially equipped by Lions Club of
Hyderabad till joint Trust is formed.
Both the Organizations together laid foundation stone in the year 1972 by the Governor of Andhra Pradesh and
subsequently the hospital was inaugurated by Transport Minister of A.P. Shri.J.ChokkaRao on 16th June, 1974.
The affairs of the Hospital are administered by a Board of Governors of above Trust on non profit basis as N.G.O.

3. Chairman’s Message
