It was immensely gratifying and humbling for me and Dr Roopa Sreedhar to interact with children (beneficiaries ) of eye surgeries at Minto Eye Hospital (Asia's oldest Opthalmology hospital) located in . Parents of these children traveled far distances from remote villages to get their children treated for eye related challenges. Penurious patients were treated free of cost although they were quoted enormous amounts for treatments by private hospitals. This was achieved through project "Nayonika Makala Netra" run by Nayonika Eye Care Charitable Trust . We were able to witness the impact of these charitable surgeries and impact of the efforts rendered to reach needy children across the state.

Highlights of this noble project include:
- Primary Eye health screening through Nayonika Vision Wall and have already served over 10 lakhs (1 million) children.
- Distribution of Free spectacles for over 30,000 needy children till date.
- Over 150 plus Free Pediatric surgeries for children identified with cataract, squint and other pediatric eye health challenges.
- Goal to provide eye healthcare to over 20 Million (2 crores) Children from 35 Districts from Kanyakumari to Kashmir of India (South to North)

Please visit https://lnkd.in/gZnGUPWg for more details.

Our Special Gratitude to:
Dr Surekha & Prashanth from Naynonika for organizing this visit.
*Dr Sujatha* Minto Director for enabling the visit.
Dr Vidhya, Dr Chinmayee and entire eye health team for showing us around the hospital.

We felt very grateful for being able to contribute and support this hugely beneficial cause to help the next generation of humanity!

Please do get in touch if you would like to partner or support this initiative as part of your Corporate social responsibility initiative or even if you would like to be involved on personal interest! The children need all the help that can be provided!

Twitter has major security problems that pose a threat to its own users' personal information, to company shareholders, to national security, and to democracy, according to an explosive whistleblower disclosure obtained exclusively by CNN and The Washington Post. Here are the claims as they were presented. The real big question is "Would anyone continue to use such a platform after knowing these vulnerabilities?"

1. Twitter's leadership has misled its own board and government regulators about its security vulnerabilities, including some that could allegedly open the door to foreign spying or manipulation, hacking and disinformation campaigns
2. Twitter does not reliably delete users' data after they cancel their accounts, in some cases because the company has lost track of the information, and that it has misled regulators about whether it deletes the data as it is required to do.
3. Twitter executives don't have the resources to fully understand the true number of bots on the platform, and were not motivated to find out.
4. Twitter also lacked the ability to hold workers accountable for information security lapses because it has little control or visibility into employees' individual work computers.
5. About half of the company's 500,000 servers run on outdated software that does not support basic security features such as encryption for stored data or regular security updates by vendors
6. The company also lacks sufficient redundancies and procedures to restart or recover from data center crashes
7. Twitter suffers an "anomalously high rate of security incidents," approximately one per week serious enough to require disclosure to government agencies
8. Twitter had "never been in compliance" with what the FTC demanded more than 10 years ago.
