With a view to promote sanitation in hospitals under ‘Swachchh Bharat Abhiyan’, a programme known as ‘Kayakalp’ would be launched in Haryana.Under the programme, two best district hospitals would be awarded Rs 50 lakh and Rs 20 lakh for bagging first and second positions respectively.Haryana Principal Secretary, Health RR Jowel in a meeting held with all district surgeons and senior officers of the department said that this Centrally sponsored scheme would soon be implemented in all district hospitals.
He said that an objective assessment criteria has been prepared for its success. As Haryana falls in the category of small States, only one prize would be given in the State.Apart from this, the Community Health Centres (CHC) or Sub Divisional Hospitals (SDH) bagging first prize would be awarded Rs 15 lakh and the hospital bagging second prize would be awarded Rs 10 lakh. The outstanding Primary Health Centre (PHC) in every district in terms of sanitation and activities would be awarded Rs two lakh for bagging first place.
Apart from this, incentives amounting to Rs one lakh would be given to CHC and SDH and Rs 50,000 to PHC.Any other district hospital in the state, scoring more than 70 per cent score on the assessment would be eligible to receive a cash incentive of Rs three lakh.Jowel said that ‘Kayakalp’ would be implemented on priority basis in order to provide high quality health services in the state and after that, all district hospitals would be linked with it. Under this programme, all district hospitals are directed to work according to the criteria of the Central Government.After its success, next year onwards, the ‘Kayakalp’ initiative would be extended to Sub Divisional Hospitals, Community Health Centres and Primary Health Centres in the State.
