First of all, a detailed survey is conducted of all potential disabled beneficiaries in the rural area, where a camp is to be held. Subsequently, the beneficiaries are called to the centre, which has medical facilities (usually, a district hospital is utilized for this purpose). The individual beneficiaries are examined by competent doctors. In case, a corrective surgery is possible, it is performed. In cases where, artificial limbs, tricycles, other appliances are required, necessary measurements are taken. When the aids/appliances are ready, they are given to the beneficiaries with necessary instructions. Follow up camps are also organized to check on how the beneficiaries are doing.
