The Artificial Limbs Manufacturing Corporation of India (ALIMCO) today marked its 53rd Foundation Day with a renewed commitment to inclusion, dignity and technological excellence. 

The occasion was commemorated by the unveiling of ALIMCO’s new corporate logo and the launch of two advanced mobility solutions — the 3-Wheeler EV Scooter for Divyangjan and Senior Citizens and the Clip-on Motorised Wheelchair — in the august presence of  Union Minister for Social Justice & Empowerment, Dr Virendra Kumar, and Minister of State, Shri B. L. Verma.

Speaking at the event, Dr. Virendra Kumar reflected on ALIMCO’s transformative journey, stating that in its 53 years of service, the organisation has grown from a manufacturing unit into a national institution that symbolises innovation with empathy. 

He noted that under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, more than 32 lakh Divyang beneficiaries have been supported through various government initiatives, and ALIMCO continues to play a pivotal role in ensuring that high-quality assistive devices reach every deserving individual across the country.
