Manila, Nov 13: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday visited the
Manila-based Mahavir Philippines Foundation, an associate centre of Bhagwan
Mahaveer Viklang Sahayata Samiti based in Jaipur, which is famous for
"Jaipur Foot.”
The philanthropic organisation, which has been set up by eminent Filipinos and Indian expat community, has distributed free "Jaipur Foot” to needy amputees. "PM @narendramodi interacts with nine-year old Carlo Migel Silvano from Bulacan province at Mahaveer Philippine Foundation in Manila. He is one of the thousands in Philippines fitted with the Indian-made 'Jaipur Foot' at this Foundation," MEA spokesman Raveesh Kumar tweeted along with a photograph of Mr Modi with the nine-year-old Carlo. "Our Prime Minister will visit this to demonstrate our India’s support to this very important charitable activity. Since its establishment this particular foundation has fitted nearly 15,000 amputees in the Philippines with the Jaipur Foot making them capable of living a new life," Secretary East in MEA, Preeti Saran has said in Delhi last week. It is not the first time that 'Jaipur foot' and the makers would come into focus. In 2014, the Prime Minister had lauded the efforts of the Jaipur-based organisation, for holding a special camp at Srinagar in Kashmir Valley to provide artificial limbs and other aids to 1,300 people, who have lost their limbs.
