(Total Number of beneficiaries (Limb/Caliper etc.) over 1.55 Million now).
Special Consultative status with the Economic & Social Council of the
United Nations Organisation (UNO).
The idea of setting up the society arose out of a
trauma. Shri D. R. Mehta, Founder & Chief Patron of BMVSS
met with a serious life-threatening road accident. With his
own self-realization and also promptings from the treating
orthopedic surgeons, Dr Ganga Ram Purohit and Dr M.M.
Bapna, both of Mahatma Gandhi Hospital, Jodhpur, the idea
of setting up BMVSS was born.
Dr. Bapna and Dr. Purohit would later constantly
remind Mr. Mehta of the plight of poor patients who had lost
their limbs. They asked - where would a poor person losing
limb by accident or disease, go to get an artificial limb? Thus
in recognition of the need of an institutionalized arrangement
for helping such people, BMVSS was set up. Later other
Samaritans joined the project.

FINANCING
BMVSS meets a part of its costs from the grants
given by the Government of India (Ministry of Social
Justice & Empowerment). A very small portion of the cost
is also met out from the interest / dividend income earned
from the corpus of BMVSS created over the last more than
three decades. The rest of the large cost is met by donations
of generous and caring individuals and corporations . It has
always been a herculean task to raise required resources
every year, in order to smoothly carry out its mission and
objectives.
APPEAL
It is an appeal to all the friends of the disabled,
supporters and well wishers of BMVSS to generously
Shri Narendra Modi Prime Minister of India meeting contribute on a sustainable basis so that, the hapless
disabled from the camp of BMVSS in Mhow M.P. handicapped can regain their mobility and dignity.
