 A first-of-its-kind Advanced Robotic and AI Technologies–based Rehabilitation Centre and Research Institute—named the Jaya Rehabilitation Centre and Research Institute—is set to be established at Bhaikaka University, Karamsad, under the aegis of Charutar Arogya Mandal.

The foundation stone for the centre was laid on 28th November 2025 at Bhaikaka University. The ceremonial rituals were performed by Shri Arvinbhai Shah, founder of the Jaya Foundation, along with his wife, Smt. Jaya Shah.

 
The Centre is being constructed over an area of approximately 65,184 square feet, comprising a ground floor and four additional floors. It will house state-of-the-art facilities for physical rehabilitation, neuro-prosthesis, occupational therapy, mobility therapy, kinetic movement, and allied health treatments. Advanced robotic and AI technologies will also be developed at this Centre. Under one roof, the facility will provide physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, orthotic and prosthetic devices, and palliative care. The primary objective of the Centre is to improve the quality of life for patients with stroke, spinal injuries, hyperactive disorders, and disabilities.

The ceremony was graced by eminent dignitaries including Shri Amit Patel, Secretary of Charutar Arogya Mandal; Shri Jagrut Bhatt, Former Secretary of Charutar Arogya Mandal; board members; Dr. Gauri Trivedi, President of Bhaikaka University; Dr. Abhay Dharamsi, Provost; Dr. Jyoti Tiwari, Registrar; Dean and principals of constituent institutes; faculty members; and students.

Shri Arvinbhai Shah highlighted that the Centre reflects his trust in Bhaikaka University and reaffirmed the Foundation’s commitment to community service in collaboration with Charutar Arogya Mandal.

Shri Gagjibhai Sutaria, renowned architect of Sardar Dham Ahmedabad, and Shri Mukeshbhai Doshi, lead architect of this project, addressed the gathering, noting that the Centre will serve as a beacon of hope for rehabilitation of differently-abled individuals. Dr. Harihara Prakash, Principal of K. M. Patel Institute of Physiotherapy, detailed the comprehensive range of services that will be provided at the Centre.

Shri Jagrut Bhatt conveyed his gratitude to the donors and emphasized that the Centre will cater not only to patients from Gujarat but also from other states across India.
