The motion

That the Parliament commends Dr Sandhu-Ram Gupta MBE on his commitment to improving the eyesight of people living in the poorest parts of the world; understands that as an eye surgeon, Dr Gupta has carried out missions across the globe, setting up camps to change lives by removing cataracts and treating other eye conditions; further understands that on top of his charity efforts abroad, Dr Gupta has raised thousands of pounds to fund equipment and services in the Inverclyde Royal Hospital, where he has worked for almost 30 years; understands that Gourock Rotary Club has teamed up with Dr Gupta’s family to launch a new Young Citizen Award in his honour, in the hope that this will encourage the next generation of philanthropists in the community; notes that Dr SR Gupta MBE and Gourock Rotary Citizens Award has been sponsored by Greenock-based export firm, PG Paper, which is run by Dr Gupta’s son, Puneet along with his wife Poonam; encourages people to nominate young people aged between nine and 24, who are champions in their school or local community; believes that this award is a fitting tribute to Dr Gupta’s selfless acts of kindness both at home in Inverclyde and abroad, and thanks him for his efforts to improve the eye health of some of the world’s poorest populations.
