India Conducts Jaipur Foot Camp in Kabul, Provides 75 Prosthetic Limbs
India has successfully conducted a five-day camp in Kabul, Afghanistan, providing approximately 75 prosthetic limbs to individuals with disabilities. The initiative, part of India's ongoing humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, was announced by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Sunday.
The camp was spearheaded by the Bhagwan Mahaveer Viklang Sahayata Samiti (BMVSS), an internationally renowned Indian charity known for its Jaipur Foot prosthetics and services aimed at aiding persons with disabilities. MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal communicated the update on social media, noting the positive reception from Afghan recipients.
BMVSS has a distinguished record of delivering cost-effective, high-quality prosthetic limbs and mobility aids around the world. The organization has organized over 111 camps across 44 countries, assisting more than two million individuals. The Jaipur Foot, crafted from durable polymer materials, is designed to enhance the mobility and comfort of amputees, thereby improving their quality of life.
This effort in Kabul is part of India's expansive humanitarian outreach initiative known as “India for Humanity.” This program aims to assist vulnerable populations in conflict-affected areas through medical aid, rehabilitation, and capability-building initiatives.
The successful execution of the Jaipur Foot camp in Kabul not only restored mobility for many Afghans but also emphasized India's dedication to humanitarian diplomacy and fostering regional goodwill through tangible support.
