With the aim to provide access to better facilities including healthcare and education to the people of Amiliya village, Mahan Coal ltd has started construction of a culvert to connect two different parts of Amiliya village with each other as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility.
The culvert which will be around 6-meter long is likely to improve the connectivity of Sunrail and Doliaboda to other part of Amiliya Village.
More than 600 people are residing in these two areas. The area is part of Amiliya village but not well connected with the main part of the village. The villagers face problem during rainy season when water flow increases in the nullah. The school students also struggle to cross the nullah due to heavy current of the water. Moreover, in case of any medical emergency, the villagers also struggle to go to the health centre at Amiliya for treatment.
According to village Sarpanch Santosh Singh, “Villagers can now access primary medical care easily at the Health Centre run by Mahan Coal ltd. In case of emergencies, MCl can organize a vehicle to take patients to the district hospital from the area. Now it is difficult to villagers to cross the nullah with a patient especially during the rainy season. The villagers will no longer depend on quacks.”
