National Award-winning renowned NGO, Narayan Seva Sansthan from Udaipur, Rajasthan is organizing a ‘Free Artificial Limb Camp for the welfare of differently-abled’ for the first time in Guwahati. 

The event will be held on Sunday at Aashi Apsara Hall, Paltan Bazaar from 8 am to 6 pm. The camp will be officially inaugurated by Assam Governor Gulab Chand Kataria at 9 am.

The director trustee of the Sansthan, Devendra Chaubisa, revealed Sansthan’s steadfast commitment to 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, Sansthan has been serving humanity for the past 39 years. 

Chaubisa explained during the press conference held at the Press Club that during the camp, the specially trained and experienced prosthetic and orthotics doctors’ team from Sansthan will assess the differently-abled patients. They will conduct organized casting for lightweight and durable artificial limbs, taking precise measurements. Approximately two months later, Sansthan will organize a modular artificial limb distribution camp to provide them with a free fitting.

He mentioned 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. During this event, the Sansthan’s authorities unveiled the camp’s poster. 

Bhati also mentioned that distinguished personalities and various community groups from Guwahati have been invited. More than 30 organizations, including 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.
