Haryana State Profile: Prosthetics, Orthotics and Rehabilitation in North India’s NCR Corridor

Haryana is a strategically important state for prosthetics, orthotics and rehabilitation in North India. It sits between Delhi, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, and includes fast-growing urban healthcare markets such as Gurugram, Faridabad, Panchkula, Rohtak, Ambala, Hisar, Karnal and Sonipat.

For Bharat CPO, Haryana matters because it combines three different rehabilitation realities: advanced private healthcare in the NCR corridor, major public medical infrastructure in Rohtak and Faridabad, and a large rural and semi-urban population that still depends on public schemes, district services, charitable support and affordable O&P care.

According to Census 2011 disability data, Haryana recorded 546,374 persons with disabilities, including 116,026 people with movement disability. The same dataset recorded significant numbers of people with hearing, visual, speech, multiple and other disabilities, showing that assistive technology need extends beyond artificial limbs alone.

State Rehabilitation Context

Haryana’s O&P need is shaped by road traffic injuries, industrial and agricultural accidents, diabetes, stroke, neurological conditions, congenital disability, paediatric orthotic needs, sports injuries and ageing-related mobility impairment.

The state has two strong advantages. First, it is close to Delhi, which gives many patients access to national-level hospitals and private O&P providers. Second, it has its own major rehabilitation and medical education assets, especially PGIMS Rohtak and Amrita Hospital Faridabad.

The challenge is uneven access. Patients in Gurugram or Faridabad may have access to advanced private care, while patients in rural districts may struggle with transport costs, follow-up visits, device repair and specialist availability.

Key Government and Public-Sector Rehabilitation Infrastructure

Pt. B.D. Sharma PGIMS, Rohtak

Pt. B.D. Sharma Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Rohtak is one of Haryana’s most important public medical institutions and a major referral centre for the state. It is also central to Haryana’s prosthetics and orthotics education pathway.

The institute lists a Bachelor in Prosthetics & Orthotics Course (BPO) among its training programmes, with 10 seats and admission through a competitive entrance examination conducted by PGIMS. PGIMS Rohtak training and courses

Third-party course listings also identify the BPO programme at PGIMS Rohtak as a full-time undergraduate degree in prosthetics and orthotics. Shiksha listing for PGIMS Rohtak BPO

For Bharat CPO, PGIMS Rohtak is the anchor institution for Haryana’s O&P workforce development. Its role is not only clinical. It is also educational, producing professionals who can serve hospitals, private clinics, rehabilitation centres, NGOs and district-level disability services across the region.

Amrita Hospital, Faridabad

Amrita Hospital Faridabad is one of Haryana’s most important private tertiary hospitals and has a major rehabilitation presence. Its Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation describes itself as one of the extensive rehabilitation centres in the country and lists a prosthetic and orthotic workshop as part of its services. The department also includes rehabilitation consultation, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and swallow therapy, vocational guidance and other rehabilitation support. Amrita Hospital Faridabad PM&R

This makes Amrita Faridabad a key referral site for complex rehabilitation, especially for patients requiring multidisciplinary care after trauma, neurological injury, amputation, cancer, spinal injury or major surgery.

District Disability Rehabilitation Centres and Divyangjan Services

Haryana’s district-level disability infrastructure is important for rural and low-income access. District Disability Rehabilitation Centres, social welfare departments and disability certification systems can support assessment, entitlement access, assistive device distribution and referral to specialist services.

For O&P, the key priority is to ensure that district services are not only distribution points for devices, but also connected to qualified prosthetists, orthotists, physiotherapists, repair pathways and follow-up systems.

Major Rehabilitation Referral Hospitals in Haryana

Haryana’s O&P ecosystem is supported by several major referral hospitals. Not all are dedicated prosthetic and orthotic fabrication centres, but they generate referrals for amputee care, orthotics, spinal supports, diabetic foot care, paediatric rehabilitation and post-trauma mobility support.

PGIMS Rohtak

As the state’s main public medical education and referral centre, PGIMS Rohtak remains central for orthopaedics, trauma, rehabilitation education and public-sector patient access.

Amrita Hospital Faridabad

Amrita Hospital Faridabad is especially important because its PM&R department includes a prosthetic and orthotic workshop. This places it among the most relevant private tertiary rehabilitation hospitals in the state for O&P-linked care. Amrita Hospital Faridabad PM&R

Medanta – The Medicity, Gurugram

Medanta Gurugram is one of India’s major private tertiary hospitals. While its publicly visible rehabilitation pages focus strongly on physiotherapy and rehabilitation services, Medanta’s scale in orthopaedics, neurology, trauma, oncology and complex surgery makes it a major referral point for patients who may later require orthoses, mobility aids, prosthetic rehabilitation or long-term physical rehabilitation.

Step Up Prosthetics & Orthotics in Rohtak describes itself as a manufacturer and wholesaler of prosthetic devices, orthotic devices, braces, splints and silicone prostheses. Step Up Artificial Limb Solutions

Rohtak’s private O&P market is particularly relevant because of its proximity to PGIMS and its role as a public medical referral hub.

Shri Prosthetic & Orthotic Centre, Rohtak

Shri Prosthetic & Orthotic Centre is listed in Rohtak near Medical Mor/Model Town and appears in local directories under artificial limb manufacturing and prosthetic services. Directory information should be verified directly before publication in a formal provider list.

Ability Artificial Limb Solutions, Rohtak

Ability Artificial Limb Solutions is listed in Rohtak as a prosthetic care provider. As with other directory-listed providers, current services and professional staffing should be confirmed directly.

Other NCR-Adjacent Providers Serving Haryana Patients

Many Haryana patients also use O&P providers in Delhi and Chandigarh, especially for advanced components, paediatric orthotics, silicone restoration, orthopaedic footwear and second opinions. For Bharat CPO, this is important because Haryana’s true care network is not limited by state borders. The NCR and tricity markets function as cross-border rehabilitation ecosystems.

Education and Training in Prosthetics and Orthotics

PGIMS Rohtak Bachelor in Prosthetics & Orthotics

Haryana’s main documented O&P education pathway is the Bachelor in Prosthetics & Orthotics course at PGIMS Rohtak. PGIMS lists the course with 10 seats and admission based on a competitive entrance examination. PGIMS Rohtak training and courses

Third-party educational platforms also list the Bachelor of Prosthetics and Orthotics at PGIMS Rohtak as a full-time undergraduate programme. Shiksha listing

This course is highly significant for Haryana because it provides a local pipeline of trained O&P professionals. The next opportunity is to strengthen links between PGIMS, private providers, district disability services, Amrita Faridabad and NCR hospitals so that students receive broader exposure to modern prosthetics, orthotics, diabetic foot care, digital workflows and private-sector clinical practice.

Training Needs Beyond Degree Education

Haryana also needs technician-level and continuing professional development pathways. Priority areas include:

Lower-limb prosthetic assessment and socket fitting
Upper-limb prosthetics and functional training
Orthotic management for stroke, cerebral palsy, trauma and spinal conditions
Diabetic foot offloading and therapeutic footwear
Paediatric orthotics and growth-related follow-up
Spinal bracing and scoliosis support
Digital scanning and CAD/CAM
3D printing for selected O&P applications
Repair and maintenance systems
Patient education and outcome documentation

Key Drivers of O&P Demand in Haryana

Road Traffic, Industrial and Agricultural Trauma

Haryana’s road networks, industrial belts and agricultural economy create significant trauma-related demand. Amputations, fractures, crush injuries, nerve injuries and spinal injuries can all require prosthetic and orthotic care. Referral pathways between trauma units, orthopaedic departments and O&P providers should be strengthened.

Diabetes and Diabetic Foot Care

Diabetes-related foot complications are a growing priority across India. Haryana’s O&P providers can play a stronger role in diabetic foot prevention through custom insoles, diabetic footwear, Charcot management, offloading walkers, pressure redistribution and patient education.

This is especially important in urban and semi-urban populations where diabetes prevalence, sedentary lifestyle and vascular complications are increasing.

Stroke and Neurological Rehabilitation

Stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury and neurological conditions generate demand for ankle-foot orthoses, knee-ankle-foot orthoses, upper-limb splints, seating systems and mobility aids. Haryana’s major hospitals already provide neurology and rehabilitation services, but stronger O&P integration could improve long-term outcomes.

Paediatric Orthotics

Children with cerebral palsy, clubfoot, congenital limb difference, scoliosis and developmental delay require early assessment and growth-related review. Haryana’s inclusive education push is relevant here: recent reporting noted that the state issued inclusive education guidelines in 2025, with more than 60,000 children with special needs enrolled in government and private schools, while rural specialist support remains limited.

For CPOs, school inclusion depends on more than classroom policy. Children may need AFOs, spinal supports, mobility aids, adapted seating and regular review.

Sports, Fitness and High-Activity Orthotics

Haryana has a strong sports culture and a high number of athletes. Sports orthotics, knee bracing, ankle supports, custom insoles and return-to-play rehabilitation represent a growing clinical opportunity, especially in Gurugram, Faridabad, Rohtak and Sonipat.

Digital O&P and 3D Printing Potential

Haryana is well positioned for digital O&P because of its proximity to Delhi NCR, its private healthcare market and its technical education environment. Gurugram and Faridabad are natural locations for digital prosthetic and orthotic workflows, including scanning, CAD/CAM, CNC milling, 3D printing and centralised fabrication.

The most relevant opportunities include:

3D scanning for sockets, AFOs, insoles and spinal braces
CAD/CAM workflows for repeatable orthotic design
3D printing for trial sockets, paediatric devices and selected orthoses
Digital foot pressure analysis and diabetic footwear design
Centralised fabrication supporting district-level clinics
Remote case review between rural districts and specialist centres
Digital patient records for repairs and follow-up

The key will be clinical discipline. Digital tools should support qualified CPO decision-making, not replace assessment, fitting, alignment, gait training or follow-up.

Opportunities for Haryana’s O&P Sector

Haryana has strong potential to become a North Indian rehabilitation and O&P hub if its public and private assets are better connected.

Key opportunities include:

Strengthening PGIMS Rohtak as a state O&P education and referral centre
Developing Amrita Faridabad as a major multidisciplinary rehabilitation and P&O workshop hub
Building stronger referral links between NCR hospitals and qualified O&P providers
Expanding diabetic foot and therapeutic footwear services
Creating district-level repair and follow-up pathways
Supporting paediatric orthotic services through school and early-intervention systems
Encouraging public-private partnerships for affordable prosthetic access
Building a verified Haryana O&P provider directory
Creating CPD programmes for local CPOs and technicians
Introducing digital scanning, CAD/CAM and 3D printing in clinically appropriate ways

Challenges

Haryana’s O&P development also faces several challenges:

Uneven access between NCR cities and rural districts
Limited number of clearly documented O&P education seats
Dependence on Delhi and Chandigarh for some advanced services
Need for better public-sector workshop capacity outside Rohtak and Faridabad
Variable quality and visibility among private providers
Limited follow-up after assistive-device distribution
Need for stronger diabetic foot prevention pathways
Lack of a single verified statewide O&P service directory
Need for more technician training and repair networks
Affordability barriers for advanced prosthetics and orthotics

Bharat CPO Perspective

Haryana’s O&P ecosystem is more important than its size suggests. It has major medical referral centres, a documented BPO programme at PGIMS Rohtak, a major PM&R and P&O workshop presence at Amrita Faridabad, a growing private O&P sector in Gurugram and Panchkula, and strong access to Delhi NCR’s wider rehabilitation market.

The state’s future will depend on integration. Haryana needs stronger links between hospitals, PGIMS, private providers, district disability services, inclusive education systems and digital fabrication platforms. It also needs better public information on where qualified prosthetists and orthotists are practising and what services are available in each district.

For Bharat CPO, Haryana should be seen as a practical test case for North India: a state where advanced private care, public education, district disability access and NCR innovation can be connected into a stronger rehabilitation pathway.
