Bringing affordability through the charitable trust:
We firmly believe that advanced medical ophthalmic care should not remain the preserve of the rich. We welcome patients from all social and monetary backgrounds and offer highly subsidized ophthalmic care and procedures through the aegis of the Smt. Naliniben Chhaganlal Dedhia Charitable Eye Institute. The centre offers general eye examination and treatment for diseases like cataract, glaucoma, squint, pterygium, cysts, DCR to name a few.
This charitable eye institute is run under the guidance and support of
Dr. Niteen C Dedhia

| Seven decades ago, the main occupation of our forefathers in the native place of Kutch was farming. Very few courageous people had ventured to the city of Mumbai to earn a livelihood. Most of them were traders of food grains. During those days the opportunities for higher studies were limited. |
| |
| One young boy at a tender age of 12 years having completed his primary education in village Gadshisha came to Mumbai with a vivid dream to become a surgeon and with his self confidence, hard work & diligence made it a reality! |
| |
| This was none other than Dr. Chhaganlal Nanji Dedhia who succeeded in passing his M.S. (General surgery) from K.E.M. Hospital, Mumbai in 1956. |
| |
| In his quest to achieve more knowledge, he went to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Edinburgh, U.K. in the year 1957 to procure his F.R.C.S. degree. |
| |
He worked in England for about six years to gain more experience in the field of medicine and Surgery and returned to India to serve the society at large. |
| |
| He was offered Honorary Surgeon’s Post at B.Y.L. Nair Hospital, which he accepted and lent his services from 1962 to 1978. He also served at many Charitable hospitals like Sarvodaya Hospital and Kothari Hospital. He had his private practice at Bombay Mutual Terrace Building at Opera House, Mumbai. |
| |
He was a gitted man and was successful in treating a number of complicated cases. People to this date remember him & bless him for his good deeds. He was a humble person and inspite of his busy career had managed to establish strong and lasting friendship with many people. |
| |
He was encouraged and supported by his better half
Smt. Naliniben Dedhia. |
| |
| Smt. Naliniben was a very gifted daughter of a very prominent businessman of our society, Sheth Shri Dhanji Devshi. He was the founder member and main donor of many worthy projects like Dhanji Devshi Rashtriya Kanya Shala, Ghatkopar, Sthanakvasi Jain Upashrya etc |
| |
| Before her marriage Naliniben was an active social worker. She was a gifted singer and was invited to sing at All India Radio (AIR), Mumbai. After her marriage she became more involved in family & spiritual activities. |
| |
| Both Chhaganlalbhai and Naliniben were ideal Parent’s who always encouraged and guided their two sons. |
| |
| In an endeavour to follow their footsteps we take great pleasure in starting Smt. Naliniben Chhaganlal Dedhia Charitable Eye Institute, which is a well equipped center to treat all kind of eye problems on a charitable basis for the poor and needy people of the society. |
