Sightsavers India, part of a global development organisation has been working in India since 1966 to eliminate avoidable blindness and to ensure that people who are irreversibly blind are supported adequately to lead lives of independence and dignity.

Great Place to Work Institute India, has recognized Sightsavers India as one among “India’s 10 Best NGOs to Work for”. The award is given to NGOs that reflect a high performance and high trust culture for their employees. 

Every year, more than 10,000 organizations from over 62 countries partner with Great Place to Work® Institute for assessment, benchmarking and planning actions to strengthen their workplace culture. The organizations that get Great Place to Work-Certified™ become eligible to be considered for recognition amongst Great Place to Work® Institute’s Best Workplaces Lists. 

Sightsavers India received the honour once again as Great Place to Work-Certified™ from June 2020 until May 2021. The certification was awarded under the category ‘Non-profit and Charity Organizations’ for inspiring trust among the people, instilling pride in them, creating an environment that promotes camaraderie, and delivering a great workplace experience for all its employees. Great Place to Work® Institute certification is considered as the gold standard for defining great workplaces across business, academia and government organizations. 

All organisations that nominate themselves for India’s Best NGOs to Work for list undergo a rigorous assessment. This year 37 NGO’s applied for this Study.

Mr. RN Mohanty, CEO at Sightsavers India, expressed his views, “Being categorized under the Top 10 NGOs of India has not only instilled pride but also acts as a motivation booster for us at Sightsavers. I am proud of the entire team of Sightsavers India for working together to achieve our goals and make it what it is today. We hope to continue working dedicatedly and standing by our motto”.
