New Delhi : Siri Fort Auditorium in Delhi was the site of the International Award-2023 presentation ceremony hosted by social sector pioneer Narayan Seva Sansthan. Bollywood star Anupam Kher attended the event to recognise outstanding humanitarians in his home country. Anupam Ji served as the event’s honoured guest. He honoured 55 influential people for their contributions to Sansthan’s Narayan Modular Artificial Limbs Services by presenting them with trophies, shawls, and certificates.

The Diamond Award was presented to Mrs. Kamlesh Agarwal of Delhi. Jai Shiv Trading Company of Alwar (Rajasthan), Pawan Kumar Pannalal of Hisar Haryana, Badri Kishan Vyas of Jodhpur Rajasthan, Pinky Goel, Pradeep Bedi, Saroj, and K.K. Mishra, Praveen Kumar Gautam of Delhi, Pawan Kumar from Dibrugarh Assam, Akhilesh Joshi from Gujarat Baroda, Manju Tyagi from Ahmedabad, Panchkula Haryana’s Pandit Ram Kishan and Lakshmi Devi, Girdharilal Mishra from Ghaziabad Uttar Pradesh and Ramesh Adlakha from Noida were honoured with a gold award. Twenty-one charitable donors from the capital city of Delhi were honoured alongside their counterparts from the neighbouring states of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, and Bihar.

Anupam Kher, the evening’s chief guest, lauded the efforts of Narayan Seva Sansthan to alter the “vulnerable face” of modern society. He thought that having a family of such donors was a gift from the universe that would make everyone happy. The lives of thousands, if not millions, of people with disabilities will be given a boost thanks to your selflessness. In Divyang households, there will be nothing but love and peace between one another.

Prashant Agarwal, president of Narayan Seva Sansthan, stated that the Sansthan holds such an award ceremony annually to recognise the contributions of individuals who exemplify the values of sacrifice, service, and compassion. In the hopes that more people will consider speaking up for the oppressed, the disabled, and the outcasts.

Over the years, while rehabilitating people with disabilities, Sansthan has closely seen the miseries of a large number of Divyangs who have lost their limbs in accidents. It was then thought that large camps should be organized and around 3500 amputees would be benefitted from modular prostheses and restart their stalled life. To fulfill this goal, we approached strong and affluent gentlemen of society. These social workers present today understood the pain and suffering of people with disabilities and fulfilled the resolution of the organization in just 60 days. For which we consider it our pride to honor them.

Welcoming all the award winners, the Sansthan President said that Narayan Seva Sansthan was started by his father Padmashree Kailash ‘Manav’, and mother Kamla Devi in the year 1985. The Sansthan has so far done free surgeries for more than 4,35,000 specially-abled people. The high-quality, light weighted Narayana limbs manufactured by the Sansthan have been fitted to more than 35,000 individuals with disabilities who were rendered limbless due to amputation of their arms and legs in an accident. Not only this, about 1 lakh families were saved from starvation even in Corona. We are providing accommodation, food, medicine, and treatment facilities to about 3 to 4 thousand Divyangs and their families daily. The organization has helped 15 million people directly or indirectly. This is the power for the organization to work with satisfaction and service. Sansthan Director Vandana Agarwal joined in thanking the guests, award winners, and their families.
