Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that the state government will also provide funds equal to the contribution given by the donors for the expansion of health facilities in charitable health institutions. Special rules will be made for this. Chief Minister Chouhan was addressing the foundation day of Arogya Dham Hospital and Research Center in Gwalior on Sunday and the inauguration ceremony of the institute's cath lab and medical vehicle service.
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's Madhya Kshetra Seva Pramukh Pradeep Khandekar presided over the ceremony held at Atal Auditorium of Jiwaji University.
Union Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Minister Narendra Singh Tomar, Union Civil Aviation and Steel Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, former Governor Prof. Kaptan Singh Solanki, Managing Director of MD Interten Tele Pvt Ltd, who donated Rs 2 crore for the establishment of Cath Lab in Arogyadham Institute, Manish Singhal along with other officials of Arogyadham Trust were on the dais. In-charge of the district and Water Resources Minister Tulsiram Silavat, former minister Shri Lal Singh Arya, Etawah MLA Sarita Bhadauria, service members and citizens associated with the trust were present.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that Arogyadham Sansthan run by Taranekar Smriti Seva Nyas is a lifeline for economically weak families in the present era. He said that this trust has done a virtuous work by starting a cath lab for the treatment of heart diseases. He said that only the government cannot do all the work. It is the shared duty of the government and the society to contribute in setting-up projects like Arogya Dham.
Manish Singhal has taken a commendable step in this direction by donating Rs 2 crore for the establishment of a cath lab in Arogyadham. The government will make its full contribution in such works. Chouhan said that Arogyadham Sansthan is serving the economically weak and needy patients with dedication. He thanked Anil Oak, associated with the Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangh, by specially underlining his contribution in setting-up the Arogyadham project.
Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said that the fields of medicine and education are vast. Without the co-operation of private and voluntary organisations, it is very difficult to provide better health services to all. Private sector health facilities are more expensive.
That's why when voluntary organisations come forward in this direction, then organisations like Arogya Dham are formed, which work to provide health services to the needy at a minimal fee. He said that Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is serving the society by running institutions like Saraswati Shishu Mandir and Arogya Dham.
