APAL’s State Committee in Bihar On 2 June 2025, a significant step was taken toward improving healthcare for leprosy-affected individuals in Purnia, Bihar, with the establishment of a permanent dressing center at Bal Krishna Leprosy Colony. This initiative, spearheaded by the Mahanaim Healing Ministry Trust, directly benefits the 45 residents from three nearby colonies: Bal Krishna Leprosy Colony, Banmankhi Leprosy Colony, and Purnia Court Station Colony. For years, these individuals had been suffering without access to basic medical care, resulting in recurring wounds and infections. The newly established center now provides regular wound cleaning, bandaging, first aid, and essential counselling services free of charge, significantly improving the quality of life for the patients. The realization of this centre was made possible through collaborative efforts from local leaders and organisations. Mr. Ramesh Prasad, State Coordinator of APAL Bihar, took the initiative to connect with Mahanaim Healing Ministry Trust, seeking support for the patients. Organisational backing was provided by Shri Bindesari Rishidev, along with grassroots support from Mr. Mohammad Tajemul, Mr. Bechan Rishidev, and Mr. Laxman Rishidev—representatives of the three leprosy colonies. Their joint advocacy ensured that the voices of the marginalised were heard, and the critical healthcare need was addressed. The dressing centre now stands as a testament to community-driven healthcare reform and compassionate intervention
