Most of the disabled persons in India live in rural area
and are poor. The disability combined with poverty and lack
of education denies access to rehabiliation services. The
BMVSS emphasis on enhancing the accessibilty of assistive
devices and rehabiliation aids to people with disabilities.
The BMVSS has evolved an appropriate,
simple, informal and humane delivery system "THE CAMP
APPROACH", under which artificial limbs, calipers and
other appliances are provided easily and free of cost at the
camp site.

& Latin American countries as the Jaipur foot Technology
