2011, the SIGHT program was conceptualized and inaugurated in Kerala, India. Today, we have many reasons to celebrate the outstanding work accomplished by SIGHT volunteers. IEEE SIGHT Day 2023 will be held on Friday 28 April 2023, to foster a spirit of community for the global SIGHT network, increase awareness of IEEE SIGHT within IEEE, promote the opportunity to support SIGHT financially, and celebrate the impact SIGHT volunteers and groups are making. </span></p> <h4><b>Suggested Activities for SIGHT Groups: </b></h4> <p>SIGHT Groups are encouraged or organize and host their own activities to celebrate SIGHT Day with their members, those from their Student Branch or Section, or other SIGHT Groups around the world.
