Rotary Club of Coimbatore Texcity, RID 3201, provided the Spine Academy in the city with a new block and equipped it with 20 beds and wheelchairs. The project, costing ₹30 lakh, received generous sponsorship from club members and founders of The Eye Foundation Dr Chitra and Dr Ramamurthy. The club’s Anns wing led by Ann Pavithra Aravind provided the motorised beds. Aravind Kumaran was the project chairman. The additions will help the Academy extend its care to 25 more people from the present 50 people bedridden with spine disorders and abandoned by families.
