National, March 2, 2026: Reinforcing its commitment to accessible rehabilitation and inclusive growth, Narayan Seva Sansthan successfully organized a Free Narayan Limb & Calipers Fitment Camp in Bengaluru on March 1. The camp witnessed the participation of 558 persons with disabilities, during which approximately 602 artificial limbs and calipers were fitted free of cost. These included upper limbs, lower limbs, multiple limbs, and calipers, enabling beneficiaries across all age groups particularly youth to regain mobility and take confident steps toward independent living.
The event was graced by esteemed guests including Vishwa Hindu Parishad State President Deepak Raj Gopal, General Motors GM Amit Patel, CSR Head Sandeep, ACI Worldwide representative Ramesh Kumar, and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh functionary Krishna Prasad. The dignitaries were warmly welcomed by the institution’s Bengaluru President Vinod Jain and Trustee & Director Mr. Devendra Choubisa.
Under the leadership and guidance of Mr. Devendra Choubisa, the camp was executed seamlessly with the support of a dedicated team of doctors, prosthetic experts, and volunteers. Beneficiaries from across South India participated enthusiastically in the initiative. Following detailed pre-event medical assessments and screenings conducted in December 2025, eligible individuals were provided with advanced, lightweight, and technologically enhanced Narayan artificial limbs and calipers customized to their needs.
The success of the event was further strengthened by the generous support of the CSR arm of Mahaveer Dharmarth Bhandara, along with CSR partners General Motors, TTP Technologies, and ACI Worldwide. Officials and representatives from these partner organizations actively volunteered at the camp, ensuring smooth operations and meaningful engagement with beneficiaries. A Donor Felicitation Ceremony was also organized to acknowledge their invaluable contribution.
Among the many inspiring stories that emerged from the camp, the journey of 21-year-old beneficiary Sai Barna from Gulbarga, Karnataka, stood out as a powerful testament to resilience and renewed hope. Two years ago, while working at a transformer manufacturing company in Tumakuru, he met with a severe accident that left his left leg critically injured. Following prolonged treatment at a hospital in Bengaluru, his leg had to be amputated. Since then, he had remained unemployed. Sharing his experience at the camp, Sai said, “Today, my new leg has been fitted. I have started walking again. And the happiest part, today itself, my company called me and asked me to re-join work. I am extremely happy.” His journey from physical loss to restored mobility and renewed livelihood exemplifies the transformative impact of timely assistive support and compassionate intervention.
Addressing the gathering, Mr. Prashant Agarwal, President, Narayan Seva Sansthan, emphasized the broader vision behind the initiative: “Our mission extends beyond providing artificial limbs. At Narayan Seva Sansthan, we believe mobility is not just about movement; it is about dignity, opportunity, and independence. Every artificial limb we fit today represents a life moving from limitation to possibility. Our mission is to ensure that no Divyangjan is left behind due to lack of access to assistive support.”
Additionally, Ms. Palak Agarwal, Director, Narayan Seva Sansthan, said, “True rehabilitation goes beyond fitting an artificial limb; it is about restoring confidence, rebuilding aspirations, and reaffirming a person’s right to live with dignity. We are committed to creating an ecosystem of care that combines advanced technology, compassionate support, and community inclusion. Every beneficiary we serve is a reminder that when access meets opportunity, transformation becomes possible.”
In addition to Narayan limb fitment, comprehensive arrangements for training and meals were provided to beneficiaries. Specialized physiotherapy sessions, assistive device training, post-fitment guidance, and counseling support ensured that individuals adapted comfortably to their new assistive devices and could use them independently in the long term.
To date, Narayan Seva Sansthan has provided more than 39,000 free artificial limbs to persons with disabilities across India and abroad and has extended free medical treatment to over 452,000 beneficiaries, reaffirming its unwavering commitment to service and humanity.
The success of the Bengaluru camp marks yet another significant milestone in bridging accessibility gaps and strengthening inclusive, community-level rehabilitation services in India.
