The IABCA Community Services Excellence Award was given to an Indian NGO that operates to provide vision screening to the underprivileged across the country.

According to a media release, India Vision Institute (IVI) received the award at the India-Australia Business and Community Awards (IABCA) Gala in Sydney on Saturday in front of 1,000 invited guests.

According to the release, the IVI is working to provide access to the underprivileged in remote areas and villages through vision screening and a pair of free spectacles to those who need it across 20 states in India, supporting over 400,000 children and adults.

IVI’s CEO, Mr. Vinod Daniel said, “IVI is honoured to receive the Award, which recognises our contributions to the primary eye care and public health sectors in India. We are especially delighted to receive an award from an organisation like IABCA, which aims to promote the India-Australia association and people-to-people connections.”

He added, “The award will inspire us to do more with our aspiration to bolster India's primary eye care capability and enable children and adults perform better and be more productive.”
