The audience was enthralled by musical performances from 'Swarrange,' an orchestra of visually challenged individuals, and a fusion dance performance combining Kathak and Bharatanatyam by the Pasha Dance Group from Bengaluru.

Dr. Mukesh Batra expressed his admiration for the honourees, stating, “The Positive Health Heroes inspire millions of others who are battling illnesses. As a healing brand practising homoeopathy, we are proud to share their extraordinary stories and thank our sponsors for their unwavering support.”

Actor and philanthropist Sonu Sood commended the initiative, saying, “Dr Batra’s Foundation is doing incredible work by recognising specially-abled individuals. Their stories are inspirational, and I applaud Dr. Batra’s for their commitment to healing through homoeopathy.”

Rajiv Bajaj echoed these sentiments, stating, “As a believer in homoeopathy, I have witnessed its healing power. Dr. Batra has modernised the practice and taken it global. Bajaj Auto is proud to support this platform for our differently-abled fellow Indians.”
