Aravind Eye Care System

Aravind Eye Care System operates in a very beautiful and quiet part of the country. We are located in Kil Kotagiri, specifically at the S O Jshanmugam Dhoddamanai Hatty. If you are coming our way, you have to follow the road via Kotagiri. The pin code is 643271, just in case you are looking us up on a map. Being out here in the hills is different from working in a big city. The air is cooler, and things move at a much slower pace. We focus on eye care, which means we see a lot of people from the local villages and the surrounding tea estates. It is not a flashy hospital with glass walls. It is a practical place that serves the community. Sometimes the weather can be a bit tricky with the mist and the rain, but we stay open to help whoever comes through the door. Our staff is mostly from the local area, so everyone knows each other’s families. We take our time with people because that is just the way things are done in the Nilgiris. The building itself is simple and fits in with the other houses in the hatty. We do not have big advertisements or anything. Most people find us through word of mouth. It is just about providing a service that people here really need, right in their own neighborhood, without making it complicated.
