He was speaking at the concluding ceremony of Shankara Netralaya’s Medical Research Foundation. On this occasion, the Tamil Nadu Governor hailed the contribution of Shankara Netralaya for their noble initiative and also appreciated the medical infrastructure and standard of clinical hygiene maintained by Shankara Netralaya.
