Varanasi Municipal Corporation takes step to revive Maatra Shishu Kalyan Kendra, Beniabagh

VARANASI: In a bid to revive Varanasi Municipal Corporation's (VMC) Maatra Shishu Kalyan Kendra (MSKK), Beniabagh, that has been lying defunct since the only doctor who served there retired eight months ago, the Khari Kuan family welfare centre has now been shifted to the premises of the Beniabagh MSKK.

Under the new arrangement, the in charge of the Khari Kuan health centre is given the additional charge of the MSKK that caters to the medical needs of a population of around 15,000 people of a locality. According to the city health officer Dr BN Chaubey, all the MSKK needed was a doctor under which the maternity facilities could be provided. The other staff was available there, including two ANMs. "The building where the Khari Kuan family welfare centre was being run was on rent and after the owner of the place asked to vacate the building, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise as it led us to make the new arrangement under which now both the facilities can work smoothly," Chaubey said.

Dr Sharda Singh who was incharge of the welfare centre of VMC has also been made the incharge of MSKK. The medicines and some additional equipment are to be provided at the MSKK to carry on the work of both the facilities. As a matter of fact the health department under the VMC is severely lacking on the qualified medical practitioners as there have been no new recruitment in the cadre for past several years forcing the local body to withdraw from all the important activities assigned to it through family welfare centres.

Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation to set up citizen facilitation centres in 20 wards

PUNE: The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) will be starting citizen facilitation centres (CFCs) in 20 wards of the municipal limits.

Municipal commissioner Shrikar Pardeshi has prepared a 10-point programme to make the civic administration more "people-oriented", transparent and able to provide better facilities to PCMC citizens. One of the features of the 10-point programme is e-governance, under which the civic body proposes to start CFCs in all of its 64 wards.

The proposal for launching these centres will be discussed at the standing committee meeting on Tuesday. The proposal states that Pimpri Chinchwad is known as an industrial and educational hub, with large-scale growth in its urbanisation. The municipal commissioner has expressed the desire to create one CFC in each of the 64 wards in the city by developing open lands for providing basic amenities and international level services to the PCMC residents.

There are five such centres now, including four in each of the four zones and one at the central level at the municipal corporation. The services provided by PCMC as well as those provided by the Regional Transport Office(RTO), state transport, Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL), the police and the district collectorate will be available at these CFCs at fixed charges.

Uday Tekale, assistant commissioner and chief of the PCMC's administration department confirmed that the civic administration will be starting CFCs in 20 wards. "The civic body will be appointing an agency to execute the plan soon," Tekale said.
