Port of Spain [Trinidad and Tobago], October 5 (ANI): Indian High Commissioner to Trinidad and Tobago, Pradeep Singh Rajpurohit said that the 50-day Jaipur Foot Artificial Limb Fitment Camp is a big thing which was promised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.Rajpurohit said that PM Modi’s announcement has reinvigorated the ties between the countries. He said, “It may look like a small promise from PM Modi, but it is a big thing here. There is a huge requirement for prosthetic limbs here. The cost of the prosthetic limb in this part of the world is exorbitantly high. Jaipur foot is going to be a big gift for the people of Trinidad and Tobago from the Government of India and from PM Modi. The camp is being held at a venue called Diwali Nagar, and it is managed by the National Council of Indian Culture. Several announcements were made during PM Modi’s bilateral visit here… This is one of the first announcements being implemented. It has reinvigorated the relationship and particularly the diaspora feel that India is there for them.”Founder and Chief Patron of Jaipur Foot, DR Mehta, said that Prime Minister Modi’s commitment is filled with the emotion of universal brotherhood.He said, “The Prime Minister of India made this commitment here. We are an organisation that believes in universalism and humanism. Would it not be interesting that a team comes from 15,000 kilometres away from India to fit limbs. What is a better example of universal brotherhood?… Before getting the limbs, sadness was writ large on the recipients faces. After getting limbs, their faces lightened up. The kind of joy we got was so enormous. Many of the persons themselves and more so their wives or their sisters who brought them, they were crying. Those were the tears of joy. And they made us cry.”
