3D-Printed Narayan modular limbs provide self-reliant life
When modern technology is combined with compassion and service, it transcends being merely a machine or device and becomes a means to rebuild lives. With this spirit, Narayan Seva Sansthan, in association with Shri Radha Krishna Charitable Foundation USA, organised a mega free disability surgery screening, selection, and measurement camp for Japanese and German technology-based 3D-printed Narayan Modular Artificial Limbs on Sunday at Nico Hall, Dadar (East), Mumbai.
The Narayan Modular Artificial Limb is based on Japanese and German engineering technology and uses high-quality, lightweight, durable, and strong components. Due to the 3D-printed socket technology, the fitting of the limb becomes more precise, enabling users to experience greater comfort, balance, and ease in mobility. Compared to traditional prosthetics, this technology is considered more ergonomic, lightweight, and long-lasting.
Dr. Manas Ranjan Sahu stated that the digital measurement system allows customised limbs to be developed according to each beneficiary’s body structure. This significantly reduces issues such as friction, pain, and imbalance, enabling users to walk and move in a more natural manner. Many differently-abled individuals appeared excited to be connected with such advanced technology-based prosthetic services for the first time.
Mumbai Branch President Mahesh Agarwal and Trustee Devendra Chaubisa welcomed chief guest Jay Shree Ben from Radha Krishna Charitable Foundation, 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, along with members and guests of the institution.
Presiding over the event, MLA Kalidas Kolambkar said that the institution is not merely providing treatment but is restoring dignity and self-reliance to differently-abled individuals through technology. He remarked that when a person stands on their feet again after years or regains the ability to work with their hands, it symbolizes not just medical care but the rebuilding of life itself.
More than 170 differently-abled individuals from all age groups benefited from the camp.
It is noteworthy that Narayan Seva Sansthan has been working in the field of rehabilitation, treatment, and empowerment of differently-abled individuals since 1985. The institution’s founder Kailash Manav has been honoured with the Padma Shri award, while President Prashant Agarwal received the President’s Award in 2023 for the empowerment of differently-abled individuals. So far, the institution has provided free artificial limbs to over 39,388 differently-abled individuals and free medical treatment to more than 452,000 patients.
