The personnel of an organization are the critical assets of it; if the personnel is skilled and hardworking, then the organization is sure to achieve success despite all the circumstances, be it lack of resources or any other problem, they are sure to come up with a solution to deal with it. But, if the personnel lack skills and enthusiasm and are sluggish, no matter how competitive machines and resources you provide, they will hardly ever succeed. Previously this aspect was rarely emphasized upon, especially in our country, but the recent times have led to a positive change which is bringing recognition to the leaders of the organizations.

World CSR Day, an organization that works to promote excellent leadership, they every year award the best leaders worldwide to give them recognition and acknowledge their work. As part of their commitment, World CSR Day has awarded Mr. Farhad Ahmed, CEO of The Retina Centre, as Business Leader of the Year in its 19th Global Edition and 4th Indian Edition. It is a brand excellence recognition for one of the best tertiary eye-care hospitals in Northeast India, The Retina Centre (TRC).

“Quality eye-care at a budget that everyone can afford requires flawless execution of business processes along with cutting edge infrastructure and specialist workforce. In just two years, we have served thousands of patients from Assam, other Northeastern states, some parts of Bihar, and West Bengal. It proves our commitment to our mission and the brand excellence.” - Farhad Ahmed, CEO of The Retina Centre.

Eminent ophthalmologist Dr. S. U. Ahmed founded The Retina Centre in 2019, with the motto of “providing quality eye care services of international standards at an affordable cost” to people residing, even in the hard-to-reach corners of North-East India.
