Jashpur, 21 June 2025 – Chief Minister Shri Vishnudev Sai today gifted a significant healthcare project to Kunkuri. He laid the foundation stone for a 50-bed Mother and Child Hospital in Ginabahar, to be constructed at a cost of ₹8.77 crore. Alongside, he also initiated the construction of a Block Public Health Unit worth ₹50 lakh.
On this occasion, the Chief Minister stated that this marks another milestone in the district’s healthcare development. The new hospital will greatly benefit women, mothers, and children in the region. Not just Kunkuri, but also people from Farsabahar, Kansabel, and Duldula blocks will be served. He emphasized that continuous efforts are being made to expand healthcare services.
He added that a 200-bed hospital is being built in Jashpur, and the tender process is complete. The current budget also includes provisions for opening a medical college in the region, as well as nursing and physiotherapy colleges. Affordable treatment is being made accessible through Ayushman cards and generic medicine stores. The “Vay Vandana Yojana” is offering crucial support to elderly citizens, and a new online system has been launched to ensure timely payment of stipends to Mitanins (community health workers).
CM Sai affirmed his commitment to fulfilling “Modi’s Guarantee.” He said:
Construction of PM Awas Yojana homes is progressing rapidly.
The government is buying 21 quintals of paddy per farmer, paying ₹3,100 per quintal.
The tendu leaf collection rate has been raised to ₹5,500 per standard bag.
The “Charan Paduka” distribution program will begin tomorrow, inaugurated by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
He also highlighted the success of the “Mahatari Vandana Yojana,” through which over 70 lakh women are receiving ₹1,000 monthly to support economic empowerment. Additionally, ₹10,000 has been distributed to 5.6 lakh landless agricultural laborers.
Efforts are underway to open CSC (Common Service Centres) in all panchayats to bring banking services closer to rural citizens, eliminating the need to travel long distances for transactions. The government is working toward opening CSC centers in every panchayat by the next Panchayati Raj Day.
Further reforms are ongoing in public service delivery. A major change has been introduced in land registration—now, property registration will be accompanied by automatic name transfer, and fake registrations will be curbed.
The Chief Minister also spoke on the occasion of International Yoga Day, urging everyone to include yoga in their daily routine. He emphasized that yoga is essential for physical health and mental balance.
Attendees included: District Panchayat President Shri Salik Sai, Vice President Shri Shaurya Pratap Singh Judev, Commissioner Shri Narendra Dugga, IG Shri Deepak Kumar Jha, Collector Shri Rohit Vyas, SP Shri Shashi Mohan Singh, CEO Zila Panchayat Shri Abhishek Kumar, along with various public representatives, officers, staff, and villagers.
A Strong Step Towards Safe Motherhood and Healthy Childhood
The upcoming 50-bed Mother and Child Hospital in Kunkuri will serve not only the Kunkuri block but also neighboring blocks like Farsabahar, Kansabel, and Duldula. It will eliminate the need to travel long distances for maternal and child healthcare.
Pregnant women will receive timely treatment and delivery care, along with regular health checkups. The presence of specialist doctors will aid in treating serious childhood illnesses. This will be a major relief for the surrounding rural communities.
Additionally, the ₹50 lakh Block Public Health Unit will offer laboratory testing services, especially benefiting the tribal-dominated areas.
Together, the Mother and Child Hospital and Block Public Health Unit will prove to be a powerful step toward safe motherhood and a healthier future for children in Kunkuri and its surrounding regions.
