Our History
Eager to do something substantial for the promotion of the eye health, a group of 9 dynamic and enthusiastic individuals, comprising social workers, physicians, industrialists and traders, got together in Kathmandu and turned their serious attention to a national cause and the question at issue. The outcome of their deliberations was the creation of the Nepal Netra Jyoti Sangh (NNJS). It was established in 1978 as a National Society for Comprehensive Eye Care under the Health Co-ordination Committee of the Social Services National Co-ordination Council. Later it was strengthened in 1980 as a full fledged non governmental social welfare organization dedicated to facilitate an easy approach to provide all the possible facilities with regard to the treatment of eye patients in Nepal.

Our story is still unfolding.
What began as a vision among a few compassionate pioneers in 1978 has grown into Nepal Netra Jyoti Sangh (NNJS) — a nationwide movement to restore sight and bring hope. From a humble beginning, NNJS has become a leading force in eye care across Nepal, reaching thousands through hospitals, eye care centers, and community programs. Our journey is a testament to what’s possible when dedication meets purpose. And we’re just getting started. Together, we can light the path ahead and ensure that no one in Nepal is left in the dark. Join us, and be part of this vision.
