GUWAHATI: A National Award-winning NGO from Udaipur, Rajasthan, is organising a free artificial limb measurement camp for the welfare of differently-abled for the first time in Guwahati, Assam.
The event, organised by Narayan Seva Sansthan, will be held on May 12, at Aashi Apsara Hall, Paltan Bazaar.
The Director Trustee of the Sansthan, Devendra Chaubisa, revealed that the camp is aimed at liberating individuals who have become differently-abled due to accidents or illnesses, freeing them from a life of disability.
Inspired by the vision of Padma Shri awardee and founder Kailash Manav, the Sansthan has been serving humanity for the past 39 years.
With a resolution to assist differently-abled individuals in Assam, the free “Narayan Artificial Limb Measurement Camp” will be officially inaugurated by Governor Gulab Chand Kataria at 9 am on Sunday.
Speaking to the press, Chaubisa informed that an experienced prosthetic and orthotics doctors’ team from the Sansthan will assess differently-abled patients at the camp.
They will conduct organised casting for lightweight and durable artificial limbs, taking precise measurements.
Approximately two months later, the Sansthan will organise a modular artificial limb distribution camp to provide them with a free fitting, he informed.
He further added that registrations for more than 625 individuals have been completed thus far, with an expectation of attendance from over 800 people at the camp.
The camp coordinator and in-charge, Achal Singh Bhati, informed that the patients and their families attending the camp will be provided with complimentary meals, tea, and snacks.
Bhati also mentioned that distinguished personalities and various community groups including over 30 organisations have been invited to the camp.
She further added that the Marwari Sammelan of Northeast, Marwari Youth Forum of Northeast, Shri Guwahati Goushala, Agrawal Sabha, Maheshwari Sabha, Shwetambar Jain Terapanth Sabha, all their women’s wings, Shri Digambar Jain, Rotary Club, Haryana Charitable Trust, Bihar Foundation, Brahmin Sabha, Shri Guru Singh Sabha, and others, are affiliated with Sansthan as voluntary partners.
Since 1985, Narayan Seva Sansthan, guided by “Nar Seva, Narayan Seva,” has empowered millions of differently-abled individuals, recognized by national honors. Under President Prashant Agarwal’s leadership, it has facilitated over 41,200 artificial limb fittings, aiming to transform lives in Assam.
