The Camp distributed Jaipur foot, Calipers and Crutches to the physically challenged people who travelled from the remote areas of Maharashtra. The camp received a overwhelming response from the devotees who had come to visit their lord vitthal through the yatra.
Lives of more than 400 warkaris have been rehabilitated through the Camp.
