On 3rd October 2024, On the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi Jayanthi, the APAL’s (Association of People Affected by Leprosy) State Committee in Telangana, in partnership with the LEPRA Society, hosted a significant Disability Prevention and Medical Rehabilitation (DPMR) Camp. This event took place at Shanthi Nagar Colony in Rangareddy District, demonstrating a strong commitment to social welfare and community health. The primary objective of the camp was to address the medical requirements of individuals affected by leprosy, providing a platform for disability prevention and rehabilitation. With the collaboration of local stakeholders, this endeavour exemplified Gandhiji’s vision of equality, health, and inclusion for all, particularly for marginalized communities.
The camp received substantial support from Mr. M. Ramesh, the State Coordinator of APAL in Telangana, whose leadership and dedication played a crucial role in its success. Under his guidance, the DPMR Camp offered essential medical services, rehabilitation support, and preventive care to those in need. Through the partnership with the LEPRA Society, a renowned organization in the leprosy and healthcare field, APAL’s State Committee ensured that individuals affected by leprosy in Shanthi Nagar Colony received appropriate treatment and support. This initiative not only advanced the well-being of the community but also furthered the mission of raising awareness about leprosy and preventing disabilities associated with the disease.
