On the 2nd of October 2024, in observance of Gandhi Jayanti, the APAL (Association of People Affected by Leprosy) State Committee in Haryana, in partnership with the Leprosy Society and Rotary Club in Rohtak, conducted a compassionate distribution drive in all leprosy colonies throughout the state. This initiative encompassed the distribution of MCR (Micro Cellular Rubber) footwear, essential for individuals affected by leprosy, as well as the provision of food grains to the residents, ensuring their comfort and well-being.

The event underscored the benevolent endeavours of the Leprosy Society and Rotary Club members, whose invaluable support significantly contributed to the success of the initiative. The festivities within the colonies cultivated a sense of inclusivity and concern within the leprosy-affected community, epitomizing the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi, who ardently advocated for equality and dignity for all.

APAL expresses profound gratitude to the Rotary Club members for their altruistic service. Special acknowledgement is also extended to Mr. Govind Swamy and the executive members of APAL for their devoted and proactive contributions to the community. Their relentless efforts persist in uplifting the lives of individuals affected by leprosy, promoting dignity and solidarity within society.
