GOMABAI NETRALAYA was established in 1992 by a
great visionary Mr. Ghisalal Darbarilal
Agrawal.
 Mr.
G.D.Agrawal's Meteoric rise to fame and fortune had a humble beginning. He was born in a middle class family
from Neemuch. A man whose youth and ideals were shaped by the freedom movement. He was an active participant of 'Quit India Movement' under Gandhiji,
he made a transition to Mumbai in 1944.
Starting with a few tuitions in Andheri, he laid the foundation stone of Agrawal classes in 1953, and thus he set himself upon the path that would make him an educationist of national repute; a man whose teachings have shaped the minds of
an entire generation of intellectuals and professionals.
Mere material success did not appeal to Mr. G.D.Agrawal and with a true philanthropist's view of channeling back into the society the rewards he had reaped from it, he established a trust after his parents name "Smt. Gomabai Darbarilal Agrawal charitable Trust" with
the motto to serve the poor in the field of education and health. Several deserving students have been provided scholarships for higher education through this trust.
Since
Neemuch is the native place of Mr. G.D.Agrawal he had a strong feeling to do something for his native
place. This gave him an idea of starting a hospital in Neemuch. During those days Neemuch was a fast growing
centre for eye donations but the facility for cornea
transplantation was not possible in Neemuch. To remove this bottleneck
as well as encourage more eye-donations in the area, and with the view to provide
most modern eye care at subsidized rates, particularly to the weaker sections of society,
Mr. Agrawal set up Gomabai Netralaya.
