Narayan Seva Sansthan, Udaipur, in association with Tata Tele Business Services and Newman & Essar Group, organised a 3D-printed Narayan Modular Artificial Limb Fitment Camp in Pune, providing free mobility support to persons with disabilities. Held at Tirupati Mangal Karyalaya in Tingre Nagar, the camp provided 361 artificial limbs and calipers to 328 beneficiaries. The devices, developed using Japanese and German technology, are designed to improve mobility and help beneficiaries move towards greater independence.
Pune District Collector Jitendra Kumar Dudi, who attended the programme as chief guest, said initiatives of this nature go beyond medical assistance and help bring meaningful change to individuals and their families. He noted that enabling persons with disabilities to walk independently can improve their confidence and quality of life.
Rohit Jain, Deputy General Manager, Tata Motors, said Narayan Seva Sansthan’s work is an example of service that can make a direct difference to people’s lives. He highlighted the emotional significance of seeing beneficiaries regain mobility and become more independent.
Devendra Chaubisa, Trustee and Director, Narayan Seva Sansthan, said the organisation’s objective is not simply to provide artificial limbs but to help beneficiaries regain confidence and dignity. “Our priority is to enable persons with disabilities to stand on their own feet with confidence and dignity. These technologically advanced artificial limbs are bringing mobility as well as a renewed belief in self-reliance into their lives,” Mr Chaubisa said.
More than 396 persons with disabilities had registered for the selection and measurement camp conducted on July 5. Following assessment, 328 beneficiaries were selected. A total of 276 Narayan Modular Artificial Limbs were fitted for 268 beneficiaries, while 85 calipers were provided to 60 beneficiaries.
A 40-member specialist team from Narayan Seva Sansthan carried out the fitment process. Doctors and technical experts also trained beneficiaries in maintaining balance, walking techniques, correct use of the devices and regular maintenance. The programme included a beneficiary parade, where recipients demonstrated their newly fitted artificial limbs and calipers. The event also brought together family members, community representatives and social workers.
Narayan Seva Sansthan has been working in the field of social service since 1985. According to the organisation, more than 40,000 persons with disabilities have received artificial limbs free of cost, while over 4.54 lakh people have benefited from free medical services in India and abroad. The Pune camp reflects the organisation’s continuing focus on combining technology and rehabilitation services to help persons with disabilities achieve greater mobility, confidence and self-reliance.
