The foundation stone of Auxiliary Production Unit and State-of-the-Art Artificial Limbs Fitting Centre of Artificial Limbs Manufacturing Corporation of India, ALIMCO, was today laid by Manohar Lal Khattar, Chief Minister of Haryana and Krishan Pal Gurjar, Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment at a function in Faridabad. The rehabilitation center apart from fitting of State-of-the-art Artificial Limbs will also manufacture Tricycle, Wheelchair, Motorized Tricycle, Walker, Crutches, and Walking Stick. Establishment of the State of the Art facility comes after an increasing demand from Divyangjan community and facing difficulties in visiting ALIMCO Headquarters at Kanpur to avail facilities of evaluation and fitting of supportive devices. The rehabilitation Centre at Faridabad would substantially reduce the long travel for Divyangjans from J&K, Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan and to some extent MP and Chhattisgarh as well.
