Radio channel MY FM started a unique campaign called ‘Ek Diya’ for the blind people during the festive season of Diwali.

The aim of the initiative was to bring back vision to the visually impaired people.

The campaign activity was done at all the stations of MY FM network in Maharashtra.

Staff memebers and RJs of the channel made diyas or lamp and also painted & decorated them.

These were then sold for charity by the channel. The money collected is now being used to treat some blind people and help them get their vision back.

Most of the contribution came from the listeners of the channel.

The doctors who are treating the blind people have also decided to waive off their fees for operations.
