Club foot, a birth defect is one of the major problems in our society. One in 1000 infants are born with clubfoot, it is mainly idiopathic. Clubfoot refers to condition in which a newborn’s foot appears to be rotated internally at their ankle and sole of the feet face each other. There is no immediate treatment for the children born with clubfoot. In society due to misconception and unawareness those effected children are left untreated. Negligence at this age may result in permanent deformity for life. Trust is the first one to identify these club foot children particularly from rural areas of Yavatmal district and started working for these innocent and neglected children.
