Speaking on the occasion, the Governor said that the service rendered by the family of Tolaram Bafna Artificial Limb and Caliper Centre was truly inspiring. The centre has dedicated its services to making a positive impact on the lives of the underprivileged. He claimed that the prosthetic limbs provided by the organisation are heartwarming and have brought smiles to the faces of thousands.
Highlighting the country’s rich tradition of empathy and compassion towards the less fortunate, the Governor said that regardless of caste, creed, or religion, every Indian strives to contribute as much as they can, to bring about a positive change in society. “We understand that true greatness lies not in the abundance of resources, but in the service we render to our fellow human beings,” the Governor added.
Kataria also said, “It is heartening to see that our Prime Minister has taken a keen interest in the welfare of the Divyangjan community. By coining the term ‘Divyangjan’, he has helped to promote inclusiveness and create a sense of belongingness for all specially-abled individuals,” he further claimed.
The Governor said that the welfare of Divyangjans is a pan-Indian movement that has garnered widespread support and contributed to the betterment of the lives of those with disabilities. Here in Assam, the government is completely dedicated to the welfare of the Divyangjans. Providing a significant portion of the budget on the needs of this community is a positive step towards giving them the necessary support and resources to help them to lead a dignified life.
The Governor further said that the Indian ethos values altruism and philanthropy. The Centre is an exemplary manifestation of sentiment, offering hope and joy to the less privileged and effecting a tangible transformation in the lives of Divyangjan. Kataria wished that the Centre’s commitment serves as an inspiration and motivates every person to offer humanitarian services to those in need.
Deputy commissioner Kamrup Keerthy Jalli, managing trustee Shubhkaran Jain Bafna along with a host of other dignitaries were present on the occasion.
