A healing touch for physically challenged

Apart from being physically challenged, they had another factor in common. All belonged to the reserved categories. For the camp, organised by the Hindustan Petroleum Corporation under its composite plan for the reserved category, was exclusively for them. According to the organisers, artificial limbs and hearing aids worth Rs 2 lakh were provided during the camp. Addressing the gathering, Dr. Vohra of Nevedac Prosthetic Centre complimented HPCL for its services in rehabilitating the disabled patients.

He also expressed hope that the organisation would continue with its schemes, including employment generation, health, education, provision of drinking water and sanitation for the welfare of the weaker sections in the future Ajit Singh, senior regional manager, HPCL, who was the chief guest at the camp, admired the services of the centre in this field. He asserted that the schemes were being undertaken by the HPCL to meet the obligations towards the society and not for gaining mileage.
