at Vidyanagar, Hubli. Under the name & style "Mahaveer Limb
Center" Which is dedicated and devoted to the poor by providing
Jaipur Artificial limbs calipers, tricycles & crutches to physically
handicapped persons at free of cost. The idea of the world famous
Jaipur foot was first mooted by Sri Ramachandra Sharma of Jaipur who
designed and developed the limb with the help of orthopedic expert
like Dr.P.K Sethi of Jaipur. These limbs are very light and durable.
They are cosmetically and functionally close to human limb permitting
normal sitting, squatting, walking, running, climbing, swimming and
are made to the required measurements. After fitment the person can
walk, run, sit, swim, climb etc. Like a normal person without any
support.
