THE LOGO OF DR. RAJENDRA PRASAD CENTRE FOR OPHTHALMIC SCIENCES,

Our Emblem
(The Sun, The Veena, The Lotus and The Eye)

The Sun: According to ancient Indians and Iranians, the Sun illuminates the best image of Divine and it is not only the source of all physical light but it also signifies the principles of awakening and intellectual animation. The Sun is the prevading spirit of sight which enables the eye to see light and the forms of objects.

The Veena : It is the symbolic representation of the spirit of learning. A blessing to all students who are actively engaged in the pursuit of knowledge and the search for truth is invoked by such symbolic representation.

The Lotus and The Eye: The lotus eyed individual is considered to be one endowed with physical and mental clarity of vision besides the purity of sight and thought. By this symbolic representation it is sought to exhort those working in the 'Centre' to have purity of vision and thought; and help allay the suffering of human beings from eye diseases and to bring about clarity of vision, splendour and beauty of eyes.

Our Motto

Tamso Ma Jotir Gamaya (From Darkness to Light)

Our Motto is the manifestation of all ophthalmic and spiritual knowledge. It indicates that we stand for leading individuals "From Darkness to Light" - physically, mentally, ethically and spiritually without distinction of caste or creed.

To a teacher and research worker it implies to uncover more knowledge which is still under cover by a real effort in the search for truth.

To a student it urges to remove his inner darkness of thought and action by imbibing knowledge and also to step forward in the common efforts of search for truth in keeping with the Motto of the Republic of India "Truth alone prevails".

To the ophthalmic surgeons and physicians it exhorts to restore vision whenever it is lost and to prevent the loss of vision i.e., it exhorts them to lead those under their care "From Darkness to Light".

To rehabilitation workers it shows that they should not despair at the physical loss of sight because one can still be led from the Darkness in life so created by specially executed programmes to a more fruitful and bright life. All that is required is fortitude, courage and skill.

To the patient it is a hope that the dedicated workers in the centre will lead them "From Darkness to Light" .- Physically, ethically, and spiritually.

THE GENESIS OF DR.RAJENDRA PRASAD CENTRE (RPC), AIIMS

Dr. Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences, named after the first President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, was established on the 10th of March, 1967 as a National centre for ophthalmic science, to provide state of the art patient care, expand human resources for medical education and undertake research to find solutions to eye health problems of national importance.
Prof L P Agarwal was the visionary, who envisaged an eye center that would be at the fore front of eye health planning, academics and clinical care. It was designed keeping in mind the specific needs of India, and included the best features of leading ophthalmic centers around the world.
Prof L PAgarwal and the RPC were instrumental in making India the first country to start a National Programme for Prevention of visual impairment and Control of Blindness. The Centre formed the apex of the pyramid of Ophthalmic services in India, under this programme.
RPC has been recognized over the years, as a center of excellence by policy makers, professionals and the discerning public. All its expertise is available to the common man at highly subsidized rates or free.
The Centre is a constituent unit of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, wherein it retains the fullest autonomy, while still keeping it within the mainstream of medical education and health care.
Dr.R.P.Centre continues to play a pivotal role in the National Programme for Control of Blindness. Faculty members of the Centre provide technical inputs at various forums that deliberate on policy planning and programme implementation. We have contributed our share in various blindness surveys and rapid assessments that have been conducted under the National Programme. As part of the Working Group, we have assisted in the framing of the Plan of Action under the Vision 2020 initiative. The Plan of Action shall guide the National Programme for Control of Blindness in the years to come. The Centre continues to foster partnerships with non-governmental organizations engaged in the field of eye care. The centre has developed software for the National Registry of Eye Care infrastructure and human resources in India” this was done to support vision 2020 activities in India. This will be of immense use for policy planning in future.
