Tourism Minister Muttamsetti Srinivasa Rao has said that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has introduced the volunteer system to ensure transparency in the distribution of the benefits of various welfare schemes to the public. He was speaking at a programme organised at Anandapuram of Bheemunipatnam constituency on Monday to present ‘Seva awards’ to volunteers for their meritorious services. They were acting as a bridge between the village/ward secretariats and the people in their jurisdiction.
The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
