Narayan Seva Sansthan, renowned for its service to the disabled and humanity across the globe, will organize a free Narayan Limb and Calipers Fitment Camp for the disabled in Assam on August 25. This large-scale camp will be held at Shri Bhagwan Mahavir Dharmasthal, MS Road, Fancy Bazaar, Guwahati, from 8 am to 5 pm on Sunday, August 25.

During a press conference at the Gauhati Press Club on August 22, Director Trustee of the Sansthan, Devendra Chaubisa, shared that Narayan Seva Sansthan has been striving to benefit the disabled in various states for the past 39 years, by reaching out to them near their hometowns. In this series, the Sansthan organized a free Narayan Limb Measurement Camp in Guwahati on May 12, where over 450 patients attended.

Out of these, 295 individuals had lost limbs due to road accidents or other mishaps, rendering them disabled. The institution selected these individuals and took measurements for the Narayan Limb.

He further stated that for the first time in Assam, the Sansthan will provide Narayan Limbs to over 300 disabled individuals, giving them a new lease on life. These individuals, due to their disabilities, had become a burden on their families and loved ones, but the institution is now working to make them self-reliant and reintegrate them into the mainstream society.

Camp coordinator and in-charge, Achal Singh Bhati, emphasized the institution’s commitment to bringing the disabled into the mainstream society. He affirmed their readiness to always support the disabled in Assam. For this camp, over 25 local organizations, including Digambar Jain Panchayat, Marwari Youth Forum of Northeast, Marwari Sammelan of Northeast, Guwahati Goushala, Agarwal Sabha, Maheshwari Sabha, Lohia Group, Terapanth Sabha, Parag India, Bihar Foundation, Gujarati Samaj, Rotary Club, Matri Mandir, and Shyam Mandal, have come together for voluntary service.

Hundreds of donors, including social workers and administrative officials from Guwahati, have been invited to witness the inauguration and grandeur of the camp. The institution will also provide free meals for the disabled attending the camp.

Responding to questions from journalists, Media and Public Relations Officer of Sansthan and spokesperson Bhagwan Prasad Gaur mentioned that after the Narayan Limb fitment, the disabled individuals would receive systematic training in walking. A 30-member team from the institution will be actively involved in these services. Over 100 prominent citizens from Guwahati and nearby areas will attend the camp to observe its proceedings. The institution has organized similar camps abroad in Kenya, South Africa, and Uganda, where more than 3,000 people have been fitted with limbs.

During the press conference, trustee Choubisa, spokesperson Gaur, camp In-charge Bhati, and ashram In-charge released the poster for the fitment camp.

The founder, Kailash Manav, was honored with the Padma Shri award by the President of India for his exemplary service to humanity.
