CM Fellows' innovations redefine devpt in rural UP
In Lakhimpur Kheri district, CM Fellows, in collaboration with local officials, worked on activating sub-health centres in Kukra and Jalalpur villages, which are now equipped with proper delivery centres. Due to the presence of the delivery centres, institutional deliveries increased to 94% in these villages, ensuring safer childbirth and better maternal and infant health care. An official from the planning department, which has been monitoring the CM Fellowship Programme, said that where once only five-six institutional deliveries took place monthly, the number has now surged to 20 per month.In Badaun's Salarpur block, CM Fellow Mayank Singh introduced an innovative model that blends health awareness with livelihood generation. To address the lack of resources in Anganwadi centres, he collaborated with self-help group women to create Madhubani-style banners conveying health messages. The funds raised were used to procure health equipment for four Anganwadi centres, which then led to a notable increase in ANC check-up registrations among pregnant women, the official said.Inspired by Singh's work, Momina, an SHG member, created similar awareness banners using zari-zardozi art. Seeing how effective the simple plan was, the govt is putting in place a plan to expand this to promote awareness about TB and education.In Gorakhpur's Brahmapur block, CM Fellow Praveen Kumar Rao focussed on boosting the production of Kala Namak rice. He formed a 58-hectare cluster under the agricultural export policy 2019 and, in collaboration with farmer producer organisations, facilitated a Rs 100 per kg seed subsidy. He then secured Rs 10 lakh as support for 200 farmers, which led to an expansion in rice cultivation and an increase of nearly 1.5 times in the farmers' income through exports.Binod Kumar Jaiswal, posted in Ballia's Sohawan block, introduced smart TVs in the Primary School at Narhi to bring digital learning to the school. This resulted in a surge in student enrolment, which went up from 148 students in May 2024 to 194 by Sep, with attendance reaching 85%.These transformative efforts are a direct result of CM Yogi Adityanath's forward-looking policy to empower youth-led innovation in rural areas. The CM Fellows are not just implementing programmes but are redefining the development narrative of rural UP through sustainable, inclusive and impactful interventions, the official said.

Punjab witnessing unprecedented development: CM Bhagwant Mann
The development projects are going on in full swing and will be completed soon, he said. Mann visited his village here in Sangrur district to review the ongoing development works in the Dirba Assembly segment. Satauj (Punjab), Aug 10 (PTI) Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Sunday said the state is witnessing 'unprecedented' development in every sphere and that massive projects are going on to accelerate its pace of growth. The projects have been conceived keeping in view the larger public interest and to give fillip to the ongoing development of the state, Mann said, adding that there is no dearth of funds for such development works and more such projects will be dedicated to the public in the coming days. In the agricultural sector, the chief minister said he had promised to ensure paddy transplantation without the use of tube wells. Canal water has now reached even the remotest villages, he said, adding that since assuming charge, his government has revived 15,947 water channels across Punjab. Mann also spoke about the 'Mukhyamantri Sehat Yojana' that will provide cashless medical treatment up to Rs 10 lakh for every resident family in Punjab. Punjab is the first state in the country to offer such comprehensive healthcare coverage, which will significantly ease the financial burden on the public while ensuring quality health services, the chief minister said. He said agriculture and farmers have always been the top priority of his government and continuous efforts are being made to make farming profitable. It is a matter of immense pride and satisfaction that farmers have shared that there is no shortage of electricity or canal water, and they are receiving an uninterrupted supply, the chief minister said. Mann also handed over a cheque for Rs 1.76 crore to the village panchayat to give further impetus to development works. PTI CHS ANM RC This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

Health dept identifies 1,874 people above 80, to start first phase of project to provide better healthcare at their homes & GMSH-16
The Health Department has identified 1,874 people above 80 as part of a recent survey to start a pilot project of providing better healthcare services to the elderly residents of Chandigarh. According to Dr Suman Singh, Director of Health, the Auxiliary Nurse Midwives (ANMs) have recently completed the survey, and the department is all set to start a pilot project that will focus on the health and wellness of these elderly, some of whom live alone and many with families. 'The effort is to focus on a system where a team of five, which has been approved, comprising doctors, staff nurses, attendants, and an ambulance service, will visit the elderly at their homes regularly, check for various health issues, and also health problems like hypertension, diabetes , etc, and then address these. If need be, those in need would be shifted to GMSH-16 for further treatment, with the provision of services like attendants, a dedicated ambulance service. Apart from focusing on their health needs, the visits and check-ups at their homes will also give them confidence. Initially, the idea was to include all elderly citizens, but this is the first phase of the project, as we start work and then understand the needs of the elderly and slowly and steadily include people in their 70s,' says Dr Singh. The department will also identify and prioritise elderly people who live alone, are disabled, are bedridden and are unable to move on their own. In a recent meeting of the 4th Rogi Kalyaan Samiti (RKS), a decision was taken that a dedicated ambulance service will be started for senior citizens and bedridden patients at GMSH-16. Also, a dedicated help desk for patients and their attendants will be started for OPD, gynaecology and the Emergency Ward. It was also decided that six caretakers/attendants will be hired to help the patients without any accompanying person. 'All these decisions have been finalised and we are working towards implementing these services, and identifying the elderly in their 80s and starting services to improve their health and care for them is the first step in this direction,' adds Singh.
