Hyderabad: A free medical and aid camp was organized by Narayan Seva Sansthan, a non-governmental and non-profit organization based in Udaipur, Rajasthan, in Eden Garden, Hyderabad on Sunday. The camp was aimed at providing free treatment and rehabilitation to the physically and economically disadvantaged people, especially those suffering from polio and other congenital disabilities.
The camp was inaugurated by the chief guest, Dr. K. Srinivas, the director of the National Institute of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj (NIRDPR). He appreciated the noble work done by Narayan Seva Sansthan and said that such camps are very helpful in improving the health and well-being of the marginalized sections of the society. He also urged the people to avail the benefits of the camp and spread awareness about the prevention and cure of polio and other diseases.
The camp witnessed a huge turnout of people from different parts of the city and nearby villages. More than 800 patients were examined and treated by a team of doctors and paramedical staff from Narayan Seva Sansthan. The patients were also provided with free medicines, artificial limbs, calipers, crutches, wheelchairs and other aids and appliances. Some of the patients were also selected for corrective surgery, which will be done free of cost at the hospital of Narayan Seva Sansthan in Udaipur.
Narayan Seva Sansthan is one of the top NGOs in India that works for the welfare and empowerment of the differently-abled and underprivileged people. It was established in 1985 with a handful of flour and has now grown into a large organization with more than 480 branches across the country.

The camp was organized with the support and cooperation of the local administration, police, social workers, volunteers and donors.

Narayan Seva Sansthan plans to organize more such camps in different parts of the country to reach out to more people in need and serve the humanity.
