The Vice President inaugurated 'Jaipur Foot' camp and distributed the free India-made prosthetic limb to several beneficiaries in Malawi, Africa.
The camp was launched under the 'India for Humanity' programme, which honour Mahatma Gandhi's service to humanity.
The first Jaipur Foot camp in the series is launched in Malawi because it was there in Africa that Gandhiji took his "first steps towards becoming a Mahatma, a great soul and later went on inspire a number of generations".
The 'India for Humanity', which was launched on October 2 to coincide with the 150th birth anniversary of Gandhiji, will take the message of the Mahatma to all parts of the world over the next one year.
