| The main objective of Polio Foundation is to help the physically handicapped children by way of corrective surgery and giving them necessary appliances so that they can walk on their feet without anybody's assistance. This will improve psychological and physical development of the child coupled with immense happiness to the family. Initially from 1987 to 1992, the polio corrective operations were done only on Sundays but since March 1992, Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation has given special premises, a three-storied hospital in the heart of the city on a token rent of Rs. 1011- per year, where the
work is being carried on a daily basis. All treatments, care and calipers are provided without any cost to the patients.
