A leading state society recognized nationally for excellence in ophthalmology
While the exact establishment date isn't in these snippets, the Jharkhand Ophthalmological Society (JHOS) became prominent and recognized as a leading state society around 2024-2025, actively organizing camps and events, particularly after the formation of Jharkhand in 2000, though its roots might trace back to Eastern India ophthalmologists' desire for regional representation.
JHOS's significant activities, like organizing numerous awareness campaigns and surgical courses, are highlighted in reports from 2025, indicating strong operation in the modern Jharkhand state.
The desire for a strong regional body emerged in the 1970s among ophthalmologists in Eastern India (Bihar, Bengal, Assam, Orissa) to gain recognition within the All India Ophthalmological Society (AIOS), suggesting its foundation or strengthening happened in that era or as Jharkhand formed.
Dr. Bharti Kashyap is a prominent figure, involved in pioneering eye donation drives in the unified Bihar-Jharkhand region (early 1990s) and founding the Kashyap Memorial Eye Bank in 2002, which supports JHOS's work.
JHOS is a well-established, active body recognized nationally as of 2025, operating within the state of Jharkhand (formed 2000) with a history linked to the broader Eastern India medical community.
To advance the science and art of ophthalmology in Jharkhand through education, research, and advocacy while promoting the highest standards of patient care and professional ethics among our members.
