The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today met about 50 beneficiaries who have been provided artificial limbs by the Yuvak Pratishthan, Mumbai. Shri Kirit Somaiya, MP, who accompanied the young beneficiaries, informed the Prime Minister that these limbs have been manufactured with state-of-the-art technology, which provides a relatively high level of agility.
The Prime Minister interacted with the beneficiaries, and was impressed with their self-confidence, enthusiasm and spirit. He appreciated their courage in the face of adversity, and wished them well for their future endeavours.
The Speaker of the Lok Sabha, Smt. Sumitra Mahajan, the Union Minister for Social Justice and Empowerment, Shri Thawar Chand Gehlot, and Union Ministers of State Shri Vijay Sampla and Shri Krishan Pal Gurjar were present at the meeting.
