The story of a 10-year-old Seema from Bihar who was seen hopping
to school with an amputated leg. She was provided with a prosthetic
limb made by the Bhagalpur unit of Bihar Education Project Council
(BEPC), Trend reports citing India Today.
The team of prosthetics and orthotics engineers made a new limb
for Seema at short notice. At the lab, engineer Sumant Kumar Singh
said on May 25, he was told to make a prosthetic limb.
Singh said that the time was short and the team got involved
immediately. The construction of Seema's prosthetic leg was quite
challenging due to the power problem, he said.
But the team managed to manufacture a prosthetic leg in just 12
hours, with no breaks. On May 26, he had sent the limb to Jamui.
While on May 27, Seena received the limb.
The artificial limb center was established at Bhagalpur 8 years
ago. From here, artificial limbs are manufactured for Jamui,
Lakhisarai, Sheikhpura, Jamui, Munger Begusarai, Banka districts.
Singh said so far nearly 1500 people have benefited from the
artificial limbs manufactured by this centre.
Seema, who hails from Bihar's Jamui district, had created
ripples across the nation when she was seen hopping to school in a
viral video. Her leg had to be amputated after an unfortunate
accident two years ago. It was her dedication to learn and the
desire to continue her school that won millions of hearts. Actor
Sonu Sood, too, had offered to help her.
