Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (RRVUNL) has mooted opening a well-equipped hospital in Sarguja where the company owns coal mines that feed its thermal plants in the state.
Chairman and Managing Director of RRVUNL R K Sharma has proposed the plan to open a 100 bedded fully equipped hospital to the district administration in Sarguja. The latter is yet to take a call as the proposal is reportedly under process.
The state-owned power company of Rajasthan in collaboration with Adani Foundation has organised more than 35 regular medical camps in the mining-affected villages in last three months. The company officials said by the end of June, people of 12 villages that included Salhi, Tara, Ghatbarra, Janardanpur, Fatehpur, etc. are now getting medical care at their doorstep. With the help of mobile medical vehicles, more than five hundred local citizens were provided free treatment and medicines for various diseases in these medical camps in April to June.
In these health camps, treatment and counseling are being done by senior doctors of the Adani Foundation. At the same time, an ambulance facility is also provided in these villages for round-the-clock emergency service.
The company officials said a dispensary was set up in Shivnagar so that the people from far-flung villages could have easier access to proper healthcare services. The center is managed by a trained medical team consisting of experienced doctors, paramedical staff, and some nurses. In addition to providing almost all types of preventive and curative health facilities, the center also has facilities for general check-ups, blood pressure (blood pressure), diabetes (blood sugar), glucose injection (IV fluids), etc.
Under the corporate social responsibility (CSR) head, healthcare services like rural medical centers, dispensaries, ambulances, and mobile medical vehicles had been provided in the 12 villages of Udaipur block over a period of last one decade.
The RRVUNL officials said besides assisting the local farmers, it had been taking care of imparting proper education to the children and skilling the youths in specialised trade for employment.
