50 Years of BMVSS: How the Jaipur Limb Parent Company Rehabilitated 2.3 Million Since Inception, published by The Federal, an Indian digital news outlet, in its Eighth Column section, reports on the Bhagwan Mahaveer Viklang Sahayata Samiti, the Jaipur based organization behind the Jaipur Foot prosthetic, marking fifty years of its work and citing a cumulative total of 2.3 million people rehabilitated since its founding. Its strength is that it is independent Indian journalism relaying the organization's own operational count rather than only the organization repeating the figure about itself, giving a named outlet's editorial judgment that the claim was worth reporting. Its limit is that no outside audit or regulatory filing was found independently verifying the 2.3 million figure itself, so it remains the organization's own count as relayed by a journalist rather than an independently audited number.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
2
Tier two: independent Indian journalism relaying the organization's own operational counts, with no outside audit or regulatory filing found verifying the figure; carried by a named news outlet rather than only the organization's own site, which is the nearest available corroboration.
Notes
Published 9 December 2025 (updated 10 December 2025) marking BMVSS's fiftieth year, this piece of Indian journalism reports that Bhagwan Mahaveer Viklang Sahayata Samiti (BMVSS, the parent organization of Jaipur Foot) has rehabilitated over 2.3 million people since its 1975 founding, and states the fiscal-year 2024-25 total of 40,078 limbs and appliances fitted. These are BMVSS's own operational counts, relayed by the article rather than independently audited by it. Classed own-published-statistics because no outside audit or regulatory filing was found verifying the figure; carried by independent journalism rather than only the organization's own site, which is noted as the nearest available corroboration.
