BUIDCo appoints folk singer Dr Nitu Kumari Navgeet, activist Shubham Kumar to promote 'Namami Gange'
NEW DELHI: The Bihar Urban Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (BUIDCo) has appointed renowned folk singer Dr Nitu Kumari Navgeet and youth environmental activist Shubham Kumar to promote public awareness about the ecological importance of keeping the Ganga clean. Dr Nitu Kumari Navgeet will serve as brand ambassador for the cleanliness, conservation, and revival of the country's national river Ganga along with Shubham Kumar, who will contribute to cleaning the Ganga. BUIDCo Managing Director Animesh Kumar Parashar said, "We are confident that these two inspirations will play an important role in taking the mission of 'Namami Gange' to new heights. We will do better work with them." Dr Neetu Kumari Navgeet is already active as the cleanliness brand ambassador for Patna Municipal Corporation. "She inspires the general public towards cleanliness, environmental protection, and especially the Ganga cleaning drive, through her sweet folk songs," said an official associated with the mission. Shubham Kumar is the founder of the Being Helper Foundation and has been working tirelessly for the cleanliness of the Ganga Ghats for over seven years. He launched the "Bottle for Tree Protection Campaign", an initiative through which he pioneered the creation of "tree guards" by recycling over 2.6 lakh plastic bottles. This innovation led to successful spontaneous irrigation and protection for approximately 50,000 plants. Continuing his hygiene campaign, Shubham Kumar's seven-year-long cleaning initiative on the Ganges Ghats has played a pivotal role in increasing public participation and awareness in Bihar. Notably, as part of his women empowerment initiative, he has established 44 dress changing rooms on the ghats for the convenience of women.

CM to inaugurate 100-bed Barh sub div hospital soon
Patna: The state-of-the-art building of the sub-divisional hospital will soon commence operations in the Barh area of Patna district, serving residents from more than 300 villages across seven blocks in the region. The facility was constructed by utilising funds to the tune of Rs 19.50 crore. The G+3 building, comprising a ground floor and three upper floors, will have modern medical facilities and equipment. The facility includes a dedicated NICU-PICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit-Paediatric Intensive Care Unit) for newborn care, along with specialised wards for maternity services and for patients with burn injuries. The addition of a blood collection unit will be a boon for the patients and their families, as they will no longer need to travel to the state capital for blood requirements. Barh sub-divisional magistrate Shubham Kumar, who recently inspected the new building of the SDH, said it will be inaugurated by the CM Nitish Kumar in the next 10 to 15 days. "The new facility will have 11 specialist doctors. It will be a 100-bed hospital with all modern facilities. There are separate operation theatres and units for intensive child care. A blood bank will also be available, and an oxygen plant has been established on the premises," he said. "The oxygen supply has already begun in the child care unit, while the other beds in the hospital will get the direct oxygen supply from the plant. The Bihar Medical Services and Infrastructure Corporation Limited (BMSICL) constructed the new building on the same premises. The existing Barh SDH functions from an old, a deteriorating structure. Once the new facility starts functioning, the old building will be demolished," the SDM told this newspaper on Saturday. The old SDH currently serves as a referral centre due to the lack of specialist physicians. After primary treatment, the patients are referred to the PMCH. Vinay Kumar Chaudhary, deputy superintendent of the hospital, said that after the inauguration of the new building, a blood storage facility will be available. "Demand will also be made to increase the number of ambulances. Almost all the work has been completed except for the electricity connection. Testing will be done after the electricity connection, after which the date of inauguration will be decided. Arrangement for a post-mortem facility has also been made," he said.
