Keeping Steps to Independence

03 November 2022, Patna: A small boy namely Divyanshu Kumar is only 6 years old. He lives with his parents Mrs. Madhvi Sinha and Mr. Sanjay Sinha at Mogalpura slum locality of Patna.

Divyanshu was unable to walk or even sit properly as his both legs are polio stricken. The team of Sakcham program with support of KNH-Germany by NBJK at Patna has identified him during a survey.

The child comes from a poor family, his father is daily wager and mother lives in home. The parents couldn’t make disability certificate for their physically challenged son and Sakcham staffs have initiated the process.

In that course, when they took the child to Patna Medical College & Hospital, concerned doctors assured for recovery. After proper assessment, the doctors did corrective surgery and Sakcham provided financial support of Rs. 2000 for the purpose. After surgery, physiotherapy started and the project’s special educator ensured his therapy on regular basis.

That brought positive changes for Divyanshu. He started walking with support. Soon he got a pair of calipers and now can walk himself, does his routine works as well as helps his mother to accomplish petty jobs.

When Divyanshu was presented to the doctors for review checkup, they admitted him for 8 days again, provided special physiotherapy & shoes. Presently Divyanshu is far better and the parents are happy.
