"RC, Kirkee, Pune is a Rehabilitation Centre meant for the after care and brehabilitation of personnel's of Defence forces of India who are medically boarded out i.e. retired form service due to Spinal Cord Injury while serving the Nation.

The aim of Paraplegic Rehabilitation Centre is to ensure that paraplegics/ tetraplegics  have a positive outlook in life and they should  remember that “IT IS NOT THEIR  DISABILITY BUT ABILITY THAT COUNTS”.

Disabled personnel, from the Defence Forces of India following spinal cord injury which means paraplegics (with both lower limbs paralyzed and no bladder and bowel control) and tetraplegics (all four limbs paralyzed with no bladder and bowel control) suffer from one of the severest forms of physical  disability that can afflict a living individual.  After initial treatment although they become wheelchair borne, they still require life-long medical care to prevent complications of urinary tract infection leading to kidney failure, bedsores, and pneumonias.    Hence there is the need for Paraplegic Rehabilitation Centre for these unfortunate disabled comrades-in-arms.

The Paraplegic Rehabilitation Centre, Kirkee, is controlled and run by the Paraplegic Rehabilitation Centre Committee appointed by the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Southern Command, Pune with General Officer Commanding Pune Sub Area as a Ex-Officio Chairman and a Board of Directors.
