Automatic milk procurement centre inaugurated in Ayanrajapatti
Collector K. Elambahvath inaugurated an automated milk procurement centre at Ayanrajapatti in Pudur union, initiated through the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) fund of HCL.
At the event Mr. Elambahavath said that the HCL had been initiating various development projects in Pudur and Vilathikulam union, out of 12 panchayat unions in the district. He added that the organsiation had adopted the 44 village panchayats in Pudur union and 51 village panchayats in Vilathikulam union and provides necessary drinking water, sanitation, education, agriculture and medicinal services for the benefit of the people in these villages.
As part of the continued efforts, the organisation had taken another major step to encourage the cattle breeders and to increase the milk production in the region, he added.
The Collector noted that the procurement centre will function as part of the government's Aavin corporation. Highlighting the district's low milk production, Mr. Elambahavath said several proactive measures are being taken to address the issue.
'In the rural economy, agriculture remains the primary source of income. But, beyond farming, livestock and other agricultural activities can provide better income, such as a pair of cows would be helpful in generating additional income,' he added.
Kovilpatti Revenue Divisional Officer Mahalakshmi along with officials from Aavin and HCL were present at the event.

Delhi govt to install water ATMs at public spaces through CSR initiative
The Delhi government will launch a pilot project to install 20 water ATMs through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, providing cold drinking water to the public, officials said on Friday. According to officials, observing that there is a scarcity of drinking water facilities at public places like markets, hospitals, metro stations and bus terminals, the decision has been taken to install water ATMs at such locations on a public-private partnership (PPP) mode. According to the Delhi Jal Board's (DJB) plan, the water ATM shall be a standalone unit with water purification and dispensing arrangements. They will be equipped with real-time water quality monitors and a display system. "We plan to provide water ATMs in all government schools and drinking water facilities in other areas across the city," Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said during a public event on Friday. The DJB has invited private companies to set up standalone water ATMs having a minimum capacity of 500 litres, made of stainless steel and equip with a built-in RO system. "Water ATMs should be equipped with provisions for cold water during summer months from March to October. The ATM shall be equipped with a GPS system for showing the real-time location of the ATM," the tender says. To recover the operation and maintenance costs of the drinking water facility, the company would be allowed advertising rights. In April, Water Minister Parvesh Verma announced that the Delhi government would be setting up 5,000 water ATMs across the city. This would include around 3,000 installed by the board through its own funds. DJB maintains a 14,697-kilometer piped network covering 93 per cent of Delhi's population. Water is distributed through underground reservoirs and booster pumping stations. In water-scarce areas, which are situated at the tail end of this network, like JJ clusters and unauthorised colonies, water is supplied through water tankers.

AIIMS-Nagpur To Get State-of-the-Art Bone Marrow Transplant Centre
Nagpur: AIIMS Nagpur is set to establish a Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) centre with significant funding from NTPC under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. The centre will bring advanced treatment for blood disorders like sickle cell disease and thalassemia closer to thousands of patients across Central India, especially from tribal and rural areas. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now This initiative is being hailed as a game-changer for the region, which has long relied on metros like Mumbai and Delhi for bone marrow transplant procedures. The new centre is expected to drastically reduce the physical, emotional, and financial burden on patients and their families from Nagpur and surrounding districts. The concept for this critical healthcare facility was initiated by chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, who envisioned a dedicated BMT unit at AIIMS Nagpur to serve the needs of sickle cell and thalassemia patients in the region. Responding positively, NTPC extended financial assistance through its CSR funds, and formalised via a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) recently signed in Mumbai. "This will be a milestone facility for Central India," said Fadnavis. "It will especially benefit children and underprivileged patients suffering from genetic blood disorders, which are alarmingly prevalent in tribal belts. The support from NTPC will ensure that modern and accessible care reaches the remotest parts of Vidarbha." The BMT centre will include infrastructure development, essential diagnostic testing, advanced medication, specialist services, and complete treatment support. It will also prominently carry NTPC branding, in line with CSR funding guidelines. AIIMS Nagpur, steadily emerging as a hub of excellence in healthcare and medical research, will gain further prominence with this addition. The institution will not only provide cutting-edge treatment for blood cancers and genetic disorders but will also position Nagpur as a critical medical referral point for Central India. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now NTPC Mouda, which has been active in social development projects across health, education, and welfare sectors, is partnering with AIIMS Nagpur to bring high-end care within reach of the most vulnerable communities. With this facility, patients from Vidarbha will no longer need to travel long distances for bone marrow transplants — making Nagpur a new beacon of hope in the fight against deadly blood disorders. BOX Salient Features Of The Centre - Will reduce dependency on metros like Mumbai and Delhi for BMT - Will give accessible, advanced treatment for sickle cell, thalassemia, and blood cancers - Will provide relief to tribal and rural patients through affordable and nearby care - Will strengthen AIIMS Nagpur's position as a tertiary care and research hub - Will minimise financial and logistical burden on families needing long-term treatment
