Utnoor Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA) Project Officer R.V. Karnan on Wednesday took to task the medical staff at Khanapur Hospital. During an inspection of the hospital, he found hardly any delivery being done there despite the presence of a paediatrician.
Mr. Karnan interacted with other patients at the hospital with respect to treatment being given to them. Later, he interacted with the poor Kolams of Pembi Kolamguda and inquired about the pattas given to the Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group under the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006.
He also offered to train SSC pass youngsters in driving and sanction vehicles from ITDA as a means of livelihood.
