Eye Bank Society of Rajasthan along with Prabha Khetan foundation has organised the event in which a silent human chain will be formed at the Albert Hall on the occasion.
"Over 1,000 school and college students will take part in the programme in the evening of October 11 that is aimed at creating awareness among people about eye donation," President of Eye Bank Society of Rajasthan (EBSR), M L Mehta said today at a press conference here.
Mehta, a former chief secretary, highlighted the importance of eye donation and said against a demand of around 4,000 corneas, only 800 are available in Jaipur each year.
"Whereas, around 14,000 people die in Jaipur which means that around 28,000 corneas may be available," he said.
Diya Kumari of erstwhile Jaipur royal family, who is virtually an ambassador of the society, appealed to the people of Jaipur to participate in the rally.
The awareness for eye donation is a must and will go a long way in providing eye-sight to the visually impaired, she said.
