Narayan Seva Sansthan, in association with Shri Radha Krishna Charitable Foundation USA, organized a mega free disability surgery screening, selection, and measurement camp for Japanese and German technology-based 3D-printed Narayan Modular Artificial Limbs at Nico Hall, Dadar (East), Mumbai, on Sunday. The initiative aims to help 122 differently-abled individuals lead more self-reliant and dignified lives.
Advanced Technology Brings New Hope
The institution’s expert doctors and Prosthetic and Orthotic (P&O) specialists conducted detailed assessments of patients’ physical condition, muscle control, balance, and mobility. Based on these evaluations, the team initiated the customized design process for artificial limbs tailored to individual needs.
The Narayan Modular Artificial Limb uses advanced Japanese and German engineering technology. Moreover, the limbs feature lightweight, durable, and high-strength components. The use of 3D-printed socket technology ensures precise fitting, which improves comfort, balance, and ease of movement for users. Compared to traditional prosthetics, these modular limbs are more ergonomic, lightweight, and long-lasting.
Customized Digital Measurement Process
Dr. Manas Ranjan Sahu explained that the digital measurement system enables specialists to develop customized limbs according to each beneficiary’s body structure. As a result, users experience fewer issues related to friction, pain, and imbalance. Consequently, they can walk and move more naturally and comfortably.
Many differently-abled individuals expressed excitement after accessing advanced prosthetic technology-based services for the first time.
Dignitaries Attend the Camp
Mumbai Branch President Mahesh Agarwal and Trustee Devendra Chaubisa welcomed chief guest Jay Shree Ben from Shri Radha Krishna Charitable Foundation USA, Dadar MLA Kalidas Kolambkar, Siyarams Group’s Ramesh Asha Poddar, Rotary Queen City President Dr. Shyam and Sadhana Singhania, social worker Nimmi Torani, Agarwal Sammelan’s Shivkant Khetan, Ojas Sansthan’s Atul Shah, former Rotary Governor Dr. Rajendra Agrawal, and several members and guests of the institution.
The dignitaries inaugurated the camp by lighting the ceremonial lamp.
Leaders Praise the Initiative
Addressing the gathering, the chief guest said that Narayan Seva Sansthan is driving true social innovation by bringing modern technology to the last person in society. The guest further stated that providing world-class prosthetic limbs free of cost to economically weaker differently-abled individuals is an inspiring and highly commendable initiative.
Meanwhile, MLA Kalidas Kolambkar emphasized that the institution is doing more than providing medical treatment. He said the organization is restoring dignity and self-reliance through technology. He added that when individuals stand on their feet again after years or regain the ability to work with their hands, it represents the rebuilding of lives, not just medical recovery.
Over 170 Individuals Benefit from the Camp
As per the press release, more than 170 differently-abled individuals from various age groups benefited from the camp.
Trustee and Director Devendra Chaubisa presented the camp report and shared that the institution’s doctors and P&O team examined all patients thoroughly. The team conducted digital measurements for 70 beneficiaries for 3D-printed Narayan modular artificial arms and legs, while 29 beneficiaries underwent measurements for calipers. Additionally, specialists selected around 31 differently-abled patients for free corrective surgeries during the camp.
Beneficiaries to Receive Modular Limbs Soon
Devendra Chaubisa further informed that patients who completed casting and digital scanning during the camp will receive specially designed modular Narayan limbs within the next one to two months at another fitting camp in Mumbai.
These limbs are lightweight, flexible, durable, and suitable for long-term use. Therefore, beneficiaries will be able to participate in education, employment, and daily activities with greater confidence and independence.
Free Services and Dedicated Support Team
The institution also arranged free meals, tea, and refreshments for all patients and their family members. Furthermore, a 40-member expert team provided services throughout the camp, while Hari Prasad Laddha coordinated the entire event.
