Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) is among Sankara Nethralaya’s old supporters and friends, especially its cost free community services.

The contribution was formalized through an MoU signed on behalf of BPCL by Mr Mr M.V. Shenoy, GM (South)–HRS and presented to Mr T S Parthasarathy, In-Charge, CSR department, Sankara Nethralaya.
Sankara Nethralaya family thanks BPCL for this most timely and generous gesture, on behalf of the numerous indigent patients who would benefit from this critical input.
