In a significant humanitarian effort, India recently organized a five-day Jaipur Foot camp in Kabul, providing around 75 prosthetic limbs to individuals with disabilities. This initiative, announced by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), exemplifies India’s ongoing commitment to assisting the people of Afghanistan.
The camp was executed by the Bhagwan Mahaveer Viklang Sahayata Samiti (BMVSS), a renowned Indian charitable organization that specializes in providing Jaipur Foot prosthetics and rehabilitation services for disabled individuals. MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal took to social media to share highlights from the camp, noting the positive and enthusiastic response from Afghan beneficiaries.
BMVSS has earned international recognition for its low-cost, high-quality prosthetic solutions and mobility aids. The organization has previously conducted over 111 camps in 44 countries, benefiting more than two million people globally. The Jaipur Foot, crafted from durable polymer materials, enhances comfort and mobility for amputees, significantly improving their quality of life.
This initiative in Kabul forms a crucial part of India’s broader humanitarian outreach program, known as “India for Humanity.” This program aims to provide medical assistance, rehabilitation, and capacity-building services to vulnerable populations in conflict-prone regions.
The success of the Jaipur Foot camp in Kabul not only restored mobility for many individuals but also served to strengthen India’s commitment to humanitarian diplomacy and foster regional goodwill through tangible assistance.
