Prevention and control of blindness is one of the important healthcare programmes in India. The National Health Policy document of the Government of India, 1983, stipulates that 'One of the basic human rights is the right to see.’ We have to ensure that no citizen goes blind needlessly, or being blind does not remain so, if by reasonable deployment of skill and resources, his eyesight can be prevented from deterioration or if already lost, can be restored.
The National Programme for Control of Blindness (NPCB) was launched in 1976 with the goal of reducing blindness prevalence to 0.3% by the year 2020. India was the first country in the world to launch National Level Blindness Control Programme.
In 1999, the WHO launched Vision 2020: The Right to Sight, a joint endeavour with IAPB, to eliminate avoidable blindness by 2020. In 2013, the World Health Assembly adopted Universal Eye Health: Global Action Plan 2014-19 to reduce the prevalence of avoidable visual impairment by 25% by 2019 compared to the baseline prevalence in 2010.

Blindness is a lack of vision. It may also refer to a loss of vision that cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses. Partial blindness means you have very limited vision. Complete blindness means you cannot see anything and do not see light. (Most people who use the term "blindness" mean complete blindness.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

21. AIM OF THIS INITIATIVE
• To INTENSIFY AND ACCELERATE present prevention of blindness
activities so as to achieve the goal of eliminating avoidable blindness by the
year 2020.
• Globally 5 conditions have been identified:
Cataract
Trachoma
Onchocerciasis
Childhood blindness
Refractive errors and Low Vision.
Chosen on basis of contribution to burden of blindness and
feasibility&affordability of interventions to control them.
Over the period 1995-2002, glaucoma and DR have been included

Inculcated in 2002 with NPCB for future planning for control of
blindness.
Target diseases :
Cataract,
Childhood blindness,
Ref Errors & Low Vision,
Corneal blindness,
DR, glaucoma,
Trachoma (focal basis).
25. Strategies for corneal blindness
• Major obstacle in tackling corneal
blindness is the wide gap b/`w the
requirement and availability of
donor corneas for which
recommendations include:-
o Strengthening of hospital corneal
retrieval systems.
o Assessment of persons needing
corneal grafting.
o For vit a def related diseases:
focus on eco backward classes is
needed
Strategies for glaucoma and DR
• Immediate term :
training ophthalmologists to handle
these conditions. Comprehensive eye
evaluation via better clinical practice
in slit lamp biomicroscopy, AT, disc
and retinal evaluation and gonioscopy.
• Intermediate term:
o Residency training prog in med
colleges.
o Training of MLOP in handling these
conditions in peripheries.
o Training non ophthalmic physicians on
clinical profile of these conditions.
o Public education
• Long term:
o To provide high quality eye care at all
levels
26. Global trends :
• Over 1995 – 2002, constant factors – ageing, population growth
and underdevelopment.
• Chronic diseases as glaucoma and DR have shown an increase
incidence due to change in life expectancy and life-styles.
• Strategy is to bring about awareness of these conditions and
also about the compliance and adherence to Rx schedules.
• Need an effective Public health approach
• This can happen with HRD & Infrastructure appropriate
technology.
27. COST EFFECTIVENESS
OF VISION 2020
• Frick and Foster calculated $
102 billion of economic gain
if VISION 2020 is
successful.
Benefits of vision 2020:
Blindness alleviation to 50
million.
Enhanced ophthalmic training.
Paramedical training.
Creation and upgradation of
facilities.
Access to modern technology.
28. Rural eye camps
Camps – effective modality for medical service delivery on
a mass scale and it is cost effective.
In ophthalmology – effective strategy to combat illness at
grassroots level.
Over the years, Ophthalmic camps have become cataract
centered.
Other eye camps –
One day screening camps:
Glaucoma, DR,School screening or refraction camps
30. In last few years, surgical camps are being phased out by the govt.
because –
Certain surgical camps as 1986 Khurja and Muradabad camps have
shown disastrous results. These have led to a decrease in credibility
of the surgical eye camps.
31. Protocol of a surgical camp
OT installation protocol and
procedure
1. Planning : informing
organizer about camp
methodology and
requirements like
generators, adequate OT
facility and location.
2. Camp site feasibility study
3. Surgical team : surgeons,
optometrists, OT
technicians, camp
coordinator.
1. Advisable to get a
running OT in a govt.
setup or private hospital
freshly whitewashed or
painted.
2.Cleaning with detergent
and disinfectants.
3. All openings and cracks
are sealed.
4. AC and other electrical
appliances installed.
5. Furniture and
microscopes cleaned and
installed.
6.Fumigation for 36-48 hrs
& after every day of
surgery.
