Disability in India

Most of the disabled people living in India are isolated and poor. Their disability, combined with poverty and lack of education, deny them access to rehabilitation services. The AIMYM developed an appropriate, simple, informal and humane camp approach under which artificial limbs, calipers, and other aids are provided easily and free of cost at the camp site. The AIMYM organizes a large number of camps every year in various parts of the country where artificial limbs, (Jaipur prostheses), polio calipers, etc. are produced and provided on the spot.
