Business Summary

Charitable artificial-limb fitting, calipers and assistive-device programmes through BMVSS centres and camps, based in Jaipur, India.

Business Description

Jaipur Foot is the assistive-mobility programme associated with Shree Bhagwan Mahaveer Viklang Sahayata Samiti. Based in Jaipur, the organisation works through permanent centres and fitting camps, with programmes extending to technical training and collaborative research.

Detailed Business Description

BMVSS, known as Jaipur Foot, is a Jaipur-based charitable society providing artificial limbs and assistive devices without charge to beneficiaries.

Organisation at a Glance

Organisation Overview

BMVSS combines device fabrication and fitting with a charitable access model. Its work is relevant to amputees, people who need orthotic support and others seeking the mobility aids within its programme. The emphasis is on selecting and fitting assistance to the person, rather than selling a catalogue item through a retail checkout.

Its stated approach welcomes people without discrimination by religion, region, gender or income. The organisation’s mission includes physical rehabilitation and, selectively, livelihood-related support. Donations and grants sustain the model.

History and Operating Reach

Founded by D. R. Mehta in 1975, BMVSS reports registration as a society on 29 March that year, number 261/1974-75. The Jaipur headquarters remains the base identified in its current contact material. The founding of the society is distinct from the earlier development of Jaipur Foot technology.

The May 2026 brochure reports 37 Indian branches and 125 international fitment camps across 48 countries. These are dated organisation-reported figures, not a live count or an independently audited measure. They give a more current picture than older pages with smaller totals. The online centre directory is the practical starting point for locating a relevant branch.

Access and Fitting Process

The published patient-management process describes walk-in access, recommendations by doctors or technical staff, fabrication, alignment and gait checks. Gait analysis concerns how a person walks with the device; it helps the team assess and adjust a fitting. A rapid process is part of the organisation’s model, but complexity and individual needs can affect the time required.

For beneficiaries, the useful next step is to identify the nearest appropriate centre or announced camp and confirm the documents and arrangements before travelling. A report of another person’s mobility or a demonstration video does not determine the outcome for every user.

Research and Technical Development

Research is a documented part of BMVSS’s work, alongside device provision. The Stanford–Jaipur knee collaboration is supported by Stanford Biodesign’s published case material. MIT’s GEAR Lab separately describes work with BMVSS on affordable passive prosthetic feet and field testing. These partnerships concern specific development projects, not a blanket certification of every device or service.

BMVSS’s own research pages describe gait-analysis facilities, work on prosthetic components and partial digitisation of socket fabrication. The practical purpose is to improve fit, movement and accessible manufacture. Prototype research should be distinguished from a device that is routinely available at every centre.

Physical Address and Contact

Headquarters: 13-A, Guru Nanak Path, Malviya Nagar, Jaipur 302017, Rajasthan, India. The corroborating Google business listing uses the Calgiri Marg locality label for the same 13-A Malviya Nagar organisation and matching contact number.

The current official contact page lists +91 93145 66665 and [email protected] for limb-fitment and general enquiries. It also provides centre- and role-specific contacts. The centre directory helps beneficiaries identify the contact relevant to their location or programme enquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an appointment required for limb assistance?
The official FAQ describes a walk-in process at BMVSS centres and announced camps. It asks beneficiaries to bring basic documentation such as Aadhaar and a disability certificate. Contact the relevant centre before travel to confirm its current requirements and service availability.

Are devices provided only to people from Rajasthan?
No. The organisation describes a non-discriminatory assistance policy and a network extending beyond Rajasthan. The relevant centre or camp can confirm how an individual enquiry should be handled.

Can a fitting always be completed in one day?
No fixed turnaround is promised here. The organisation describes rapid fabrication, while its prosthesis page gives a typical range of one to three days and notes that more complicated custom work takes longer.

Is the displayed video a guarantee of an individual result?
No. The selected organisation-published video illustrates its prosthesis-making work. An individual’s suitable device, fitting and functional outcome require assessment.

Siachen Reader Note

Business information naturally evolves over time as organisations introduce new products, services, facilities, technologies, certifications, leadership changes and operational improvements.

This Business Knowledge Profile has been prepared using information available from the company's official website, where available, and other reliable public sources at the time of research.

As business information may change after publication, readers are encouraged to visit the company's official website, where available, or contact the business directly to obtain the latest information regarding products, services, pricing, operating hours, admissions, appointments, certifications, contact details, locations and other important updates before making business decisions.

Siachen Business Knowledge Platform periodically reviews Business Knowledge Profiles wherever practical. However, the official website, where available, and authorised representatives of the business remain the most reliable sources of current information.

Products / Services

Below- and Above-Knee Artificial Limbs

BMVSS makes and fits lower-limb prostheses of the Jaipur Foot variety for people with amputations below or above the knee. A prosthesis combines a fitted socket and appropriate components; above-knee arrangements may include a knee joint. The organisation describes a design intended to accommodate everyday movement and local lifestyles, including use with or without shoes. The fitting team determines the appropriate arrangement for the individual rather than a standard device being suitable for everyone.

Calipers and Orthotic Support

The caliper programme supports people with lower-limb motor disabilities, including polio survivors. Published options include ankle-foot, knee-ankle-foot and hip-knee-ankle-foot orthoses. In plain language, these provide support at different combinations of joints. BMVSS describes assembly from prefabricated polypropylene components and custom fabrication where a person’s needs are more complex. A custom requirement can take longer than a routine fitment.

Artificial Hands

The organisation also lists upper-limb assistance. Its published description distinguishes hand options by the level of limb loss and the function available. This is a separate enquiry from the lower-limb Jaipur Foot programme: a prospective beneficiary should discuss the required movement, fit and practical use with the technical team. The website does not justify a universal promise of restored hand function.

Wheelchairs, Tricycles and Walking Aids

Wheelchairs, hand-pedalled tricycles and crutches form part of the assistive-device programme. These are relevant to people for whom an artificial limb is not the appropriate solution or who need another form of mobility support. BMVSS states that these aids are provided free of charge; the suitable device and availability are matters for the centre assessing the person’s needs.

Hearing-Aid Assistance

Hearing aids appear among the organisation’s published forms of assistance. They extend the programme beyond locomotor disability, but should not be confused with a general promise of audiology or eye-care services. People seeking this support can contact BMVSS to establish the applicable assessment and current provision.

Outreach and International Fitment Camps

BMVSS takes fitting teams and workshop capability beyond permanent centres through organised camps. This allows people in remote areas to access assistance without necessarily travelling to Jaipur. International projects work with local partners and public bodies. India’s Ministry of External Affairs independently describes its collaboration with BMVSS under India for Humanity; a Consulate General of India announcement also documents the June 2024 Jaffna limb-fitment camp.

Technical Training and Refresher Courses

The organisation describes training facilities in Jaipur and Delhi for prosthetists, orthotists and technical staff working with Jaipur Foot/Limb methods. Its published scope includes introductory instruction, retraining and refresher learning for personnel from fitting centres. This profile does not present those courses as an independently verified academic qualification or a substitute for professional registration.
