Erode: As a part of the “Walk India” campaign organised by Freedom Trust, a NGO, in association with Cavinkare Pvt Ltd, artificial limbs were distributed to 100 amputees at a function held at Erode recently.

Special camps were organised in villages around Erode to identify the amputees, by expert personnel and volunteers of the Freedom Trust in November and December, following which customised artificial limbs were ordered and distributed as per the individual needs of the amputees. “Cavinkare is focusing on disability as part of our CSR activities,” said CK Renganathan, Managing Director of the Chennai-based company, who distributed the artificial limbs to beneficiaries.

“The Freedom Trust has organised over 200 camps through which 16,000 differently-abled persons have received mobility aids free of cost since its inception in 1997. Scholarships are being extended to differently-abled children in the fields of art and music by the Trust,” said Dr S Sundar, Founder and Managing Trustee of Freedom Trust.
