Medak gears up for YSR’s visit

SANGAREDDY: As the stage is set for the visit of Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy to the district on Friday, the administration has completed all arrangements.

To impress Mr. Rajasekhara Reddy, the officials made arrangements to present five initiatives before him. They are – Manjira Sanitation, Grama Darshini, Mana Ooru, Arogya Kshemam and Manjira Samkshema Bata.

With an eye on the Nirmal Gram Puraskar Awards, the administration had initiated the Manjira Sanitation programme across the district. While Osmannagar was awarded the state second in sanitation programme recently, the administration has been making efforts to implement total sanitation in some mandals.

Grama Darshini is aimed at addressing the problems at mandal and village level, where a designated special officer will be present every Friday. Officials will check the implementation of programmes at village level and initiate action wherever required.

Mana Ooru is another innovative programme where a committee consisting of public representatives and officials will be constituted to address the problems at village level.

Here the public representatives work as pressure group to get the works done.

Arogya Kshemam is one more programme aimed at addressing the problems of the patients who were referred to the corporate hospitals under Arogyasri but have not availed any surgical intervention.

Under this scheme, the administration is supplying medicines with a cap of Rs. 10,000 to each patient.

While four initiatives have been conceived by Collector Peeyush kumar, Superintendent of Police Mohd Iqbal has taken up the task of setting right the things at government hostels.

Moved with that, the Collector announced launching of Manjeera Samskhema Bata in which industrialists are being requested to lend a helping hand to the students studying there.

All these schemes are being implemented successfully.
