Our Story

JCF is an outcome of NISP 2019 and an initiative of NIT faculty

Jaipur Clubfoot Foundation (JCF) emerged from a deep understanding of the challenges faced in clubfoot treatment. Recognizing that 50% of children with clubfoot don't complete their treatment due to various socioeconomic barriers, our team at MNIT Jaipur set out to create a solution.

Founded as an outcome of the National Initiative for Developing and Harnessing Innovations (NISP) 2019, JCF represents a unique collaboration between medical professionals, engineers, and designers. Our mission is to make effective clubfoot treatment accessible, comfortable, and affordable for all families, regardless of their economic background or geographical location.

What began as a research project has evolved into a comprehensive initiative that bridges the gap between medical science and engineering innovation. We believe that technology should serve humanity, and our work embodies this principle by putting patient comfort and treatment effectiveness at the forefront.
