- Following such a noble philosophy the AEH’s during its inception as well as growth were focused on their core business that was social benefit which was realized by the means of eye care. As shown in the above diagram that to achieve its mission to serve the needless with precious eye sight they had crossed its boundaries of its core competency, that is eye hospital and surgery, to diversify in the related and the unrelated domains of manufacturing (ophthalmic consumables), education and training, telemedicine and awareness programs. Hence instead it became a complete eye care system not a mere eye hospital. Thus we can call AEH a ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’ to its core. Any steps taken were for the benefit of the needless, whether opening a manufacturing unit for getting the costs down, so maximum people can benefit from it, or to open a training and education centre for its employees. Everything was dedicated to get the eye care facilities to an affordable price.
