D. R. Mehta and the Jaipur Foot social model

D. R. Mehta founded Bhagwan Mahaveer Viklang Sahayata Samiti in Jaipur in 1975. The organisation brought a service model around the Jaipur Foot, helping people access artificial limbs and rehabilitation support. Its history connects a locally developed device with a wider, non-profit service network.

What to know

The Jaipur Foot story includes both product design and the work needed to make a device available to people. Mehta's role helps explain how an organisation built in Jaipur took that innovation beyond the city.
