In a silent but strong initiative of inclusivity and human dignity , a two-day free artificial limb and aid camp was organized at Patanjali Yogpeeth on the 26th and 27th of July. The camp was conducted jointly by Patanjali Wellness and Uddhar Jefferies , Nagpur, with the aim of empowering specially-abled people not only with physical assistance but also with fresh confidence and self-esteem.

Over 250 people were helped at the camp, given artificial limbs, calipers, crutches, and other aid devices absolutely free of charge. The organizers took care that a holistic approach — measurement, custom fittings, physiotherapy, and counselling — be undertaken so that all beneficiaries got not just physical assistance but also emotional empowerment.

The function was blessed with Swami Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna , who personally engaged with the beneficiaries. Swami Ramdev said, "These people are not 'disabled' but 'divine souls'. They don't require sympathy, but strength."

Acharya Balkrishna said, "Real service is to make every individual self-reliant. Health, dignity, and empowerment go hand in hand."

This initiative was supported by Bhagwan Mahavir Viklang Sahayata Samiti, Uddhar Sewa Samiti, a team of experienced doctors, skilled technicians, and dedicated volunteers from Patanjali’s Seva Department. What made this camp especially impactful was the spirit of quiet commitment with which each participant — whether organizer, volunteer, or beneficiary — engaged in the process.

Essential coordinators joining in the camp included Swami Videhdev, Swami Punyadev, and Sister Pooja along with a significant number of support volunteers like Sanjay, Ruchika Agarwal, Shruti, Pradhuman, Ravi, Divyanshu, Krishna, Niharika, Divya, and Deendayal.
Considering this massive response and the visible impact the organizers have announced that such camps will regularly be conducted every three to four months, so it will work as a sustained process for change.

Instead of a show of philanthropy, this ceremony was a humble act of service, affirming the notion that inclusion starts when we treat all individuals with respect, give them independence tools, and remind them of their inner strength.
