To support weak limbs of the orthopedically handicapped students, appliances are given to them to make their movements easier. Different disabilities require different appliances for rehabilitation. SEC make appliances at its own workshop for the physically challenged students, most of whom come from financially weak backgrounds.
Obtaining appliances would have become a difficult task not only because of the high costs of the appliances but also due to long waiting periods for procuring them. SEC makes and provides appliances totally free of cost to the students. This would not have been possible but for the largesse of the philanthropist donors.
