Voluntary group holds photo exhibition of three-month survey in 5 villages of TS
The robustness of government healthcare services and gaps can be assessed by evaluating medical services offered in remote villages. Working with this idea, a group of professionals from Bharat Dekho, a voluntary social organisation, visited villages in five districts of Telangana and compiled a report on why people do not opt for government hospitals. Reasons of healthcare workers for not being able to deliver quality services were also included.
Photographs of their field visits from July to September this year, including some of the dilapidated government healthcare facilities, were displayed at Lamakaan here over the weekend.
The team comprised Romila Gillela and Abhijit Biswas, co-founders of Bharat Dekho, Viplab, Murali Krishna, and other members of the organisation. They visited Shadnagar mandal in Rangareddy, Mahbubnagar, Utnoor in Adilabad, Nekonda mandal in Warangal, and Bhadradri Kothagudem district.
Works are under way to establish smart classrooms equipped with broadband connectivity in as many as 20,000 panchayat union primary schools and to establish hi-tech laboratories with similar Internet connectivity in 6,992 panchayat union primary schools across Tamil Nadu, the Director of Elementary Education (DEE) has informed the Madras High Court.
