About us > Social Responsibilities

Responsibility is one of the defining features of a democratic society, one that encourages its members to actively involve themselves in civic development.


We at VCOVS believe that inculcating responsibility should be the supreme goal as well as the cornerstone of the process of education.

In order to promote responsibility, we define it as follows:

  • An ability to enthusiastically and willfully choose between options;

  • An ability to anticipate the probable consequence of the choices made, thereby linking actions to events that follows;

  • An ability to thwart undesirable results;

  • Possession of knowledge pertaining to the rules that regulate the actions and roles one accomplishes; and

  • Heightened consciousness and capacity for a judicious self-estimation. To churn out socially active members, we aspire to make our students empathetic, sensitive, tolerant, and autonomous enough to apply free thinking.

Every educational institution and its stakeholders have an obligation to society. In acknowledgement of that obligation, VCOVS endeavours to accomplish the eradication of preventable blindness, in accordance with international standards and organisations, by providing quality eye care services at minimal cost. A unique feature of the institute is its out-patient department (OPD) within the campus wherein the students get a first-hand experience of clinical training, and while undergoing the drill of dealing with patients, they end up delivering primary eye care services to the community. With the aim of generating eye care awareness and providing vision care to the society, VCOVS organises community camps, vision screening programmes in schools on a regular basis.

The objective of such programmes is to accomplish the eradication of preventable blindness, in accordance with international standards and organisations, by providing quality eye care services at minimal cost.
