This chronic pain is usually making the work difficult for those people. As they work on the daily wages which made tough for them to take rest.

So to reduce such drastic pain, an innovator Ganesh Ram Jangir from Jaipur, Rajasthan have come up with the idea of Jaipur Belt. It’s an unpowered, durable and lightweight exoskeleton belt, which reduces 80% of backbone pain. The main objective of Jaipur Belt is to develop and commercialize the product by creating a social impact among society and the labor community.
