Bengaluru, 31 January: Narayan Seva Sansthan, an NGO that has received a national award for its contributions to humanity and disability, is organizing a large-scale free camp to offer a new lease on life to differently-abled individuals in Karnataka. This event will take place on Sunday, 2nd February, at Chandrasagar Kalyan Mantapa, No. 266, T Mariappa Road, near Ashoka Pillar, 2nd Block, Jayanagar, Bengaluru. Health and Family Welfare Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao will inaugurate the camp.
Devendra Choubisa, the trustee and director of the Sansthan, stated that the organization is selflessly committed to providing relief to people living with disabilities, particularly those who have lost their limbs due to accidents or illness. More than 1,000 people have already registered for artificial limbs. For the past 40 years, under the guidance of Padma Shri-awarded founder Kailash Manav and the leadership of President Prashant Agarwal, the Sansthan has been dedicated to public welfare. With the aim of helping the disabled people of Karnataka, the Sansthan is organizing its third free disability prevention and Narayan limb measurement camp on Sunday, 2nd February, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Chandrasagar Kalyan Mantapa.
At the press conference, Trustee Choubisa explained that this free camp is part of the "Quan Pyaase Ke Paas" initiative. People with disabilities will be examined by a team of experienced orthotists and prosthetic experts from the Sansthan. Systematic casting and measurement will be done for high-quality, lightweight, and durable Narayan artificial limbs. After about two months, modular artificial limbs made to the specific measurements will be distributed free of charge during a fitting camp.
During the event, Trustee Choubisa, Media Director Bhagwan Prasad Gaur, Ashram In-Charge and Camp Coordinator Khubilal Menaria, and Mumbai Branch In-Charge Lalit Lohar unveiled the camp’s poster.
In response to questions from journalists, Media and Public Relations Director Bhagwan Prasad Gaur stated that all patients and their families attending the camp would be provided free food, tea, and snacks. General Motors is supporting this camp as a CSR partner. Director Gaur urged differently-abled individuals to take advantage of this opportunity, advising those wishing to attend the camp to bring their Aadhar card, disability certificate, and two photographs showing their disability. For further details, individuals can contact the sansthan’s helpline at 70235-09999 or 9341200200.
Since its founding in 1985, Narayan Seva Sansthan has operated with the spirit of Nar Seva-Narayan Seva. Founder Kailash Manav, who received the Padma Shri Award for human service from the President, and Sansthan President Prashant Agarwal, who was awarded the President's Award in 2023, have been pivotal in integrating millions of disabled individuals into the mainstream of society. Through medical care, education, skill development, and a sports academy for the disabled, they have strengthened individuals mentally, physically, and financially. The Sansthan has provided over 40,000 prosthetic limbs to date and aims to restore the lives of thousands of disabled individuals in Karnataka with the help of local donors.
