The donation drive, part of the ‘Help Someone Walk’ campaign, raised around ₹10 lakhs this year. The limbs were handed over to the hospital by B S Nesara, President of Bangalore Round Table 7 and Chairman of Concorde, along with Daphne Patil, Chairperson of Bangalore Ladies Circle 19.

Speaking at the inauguration, B S Nesara said, “Our annual ‘Help Someone Walk’ campaign aims to provide life-changing artificial limbs to poor people who have lost their limbs due to tragic accidents or diseases. Over the last 46 years, we have donated close to 12,000 limbs at a total cost of over ₹1 crore. We are committed to such initiatives to help the poor in the city and improve their quality of life.”

Daphne Patil added, “This annual project, which began with the donation of a single prosthetic limb in 1980, has grown significantly over the past four decades. It is heartwarming to see the impact of our collective efforts. Each limb donation represents a story of perseverance and the potential for a better quality of life. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our donors, volunteers, and partners for their unwavering support and dedication.”
