No long queues, no worries, and no waiting for tests: Free treatment under the Mukhyamantri Slum Swasthya Yojana
Jagdalpur / TNIS
Everyone has a right to better and quality healthcare facilities. However, daily-wage laborers were unable to take benefits of healthcare facilities as they could hardly manage time. To bridge the gap between hospitals and people from economically-weaker sections of society, the State Government has started the Mukhyamantri Slum Swasthya Yojana. Under the scheme, free-of-cost medical services are provided to laborers and poor people residing in slums of urban areas through mobile medical units. Camps are being set up daily from 8 am to 3 pm by mobile medical units in slum areas, where free-of-cost medical consultation, treatment, and primary health tests are being provided. These mobile medical units have a team of one doctor, lab technician, and nurse for the convenience of patients. Because of the government's farsightedness, every citizen of the economically-weaker class is reaping the benefits of this facility.
The Government’s intention is that every citizen should have access to healthcare facilities and to fulfill this goal, residents are benefitting from the healthcare facilities in the slums of urban areas. To make quality health services available, 4 registered mobile medical units are being operated in Nagar Palik Nigam Jagdalpur where a total of 2,135 camps have been set up till September 2022, under which a total of 1,24,194 patients have been treated. 1,02,925 medicines have been distributed as well. Moreover, about 24,333 patients have benefitted from health tests and these figures are continuously increasing.
Besides these, 2 mobile medical units are being run in Bastar Nagar Panchayat. According to statistics, a total of 31 camps have been established in Nagar Panchayat Bastar till September 2022, under which 1,524 patients have been treated, 1,392 medicines have been distributed, and 189 lab tests have been conducted.
Women living in slum areas are a prime example of the success of mobile medical units in delivering healthcare services to people. Women are getting the free-of-cost facility of A.N.C. and P.N.C. tests. Moreover, patients who are discovered to be suffering from more serious diseases during tests are also referred to bigger healthcare centers with a proper health consultation. The mobile medical units are clean and have facilities for clean drinking water and CCTV camera for security. Registration of laborers is also done by Labor Department in mobile medical units.
A resident of Mission School Para Jagdalpur, Binda Nag, said while thanking the Government that the Government vehicles arrive and provide free-of-cost treatment and medicines to them. There are facilities for testing Diabetes, Dengue, and Malaria here. The doctors treat even the most minor ailments. We are grateful to the government for keeping us in proper health through this facility.
Ajay Pal Singh, a resident of Panarapara, said that earlier they had to take out time from their schedules to visit hospitals. After that, they had to wait in long queues. But now that the mobile medical units are set up near his residence, he can get his BP and blood sugar tested. He can also take medicines in case of any health problem. It is quite convenient for them because it saves them time and they receive free treatment near their homes.
After receiving the Community Forest Resource rights, the tribals have led down their bow and arrows and decided to stop the practice of hunting
This decision will have a positive impact on eco-tourism, food chain, biodiversity, and the environment in general.
The 120 tribals of Gudiyapar village situated in the remote forests of Kanger National Food park have set an example in Forest Conservation.
Chhattisgarh becomes the second state to provide CFRR rights to a village in a National Park.
Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel handed over CFRR certificates to the beneficiaries in Nangur's meeting program
Gudiyapar is a remote village situated in the dense Kanger Vlley National Park. This village is home to just 29 houses spread out over a vast forest area surrounded with tall Sal trees, and the chirping of Mynas. The resident tribals of this remote village have offered their bow and arrows in front of the Devi and have pledged that they will not indulge in the practice of hunting
As soon as the news of issuing Community Forest Resources by the Chief Minister reached the 120 residents belonging to 29 tribal families of Gudiyapar village, they started an forest-friendly initiative to save the flora and fauna of the forests. The villagers took a pledge in the presence of their local deity that they will give up on hunting to maintain the food chain, biodiversity and environment.
Permission was taken from Gudi Devi
It is an age-old traditional belief in Gudiyapar village that they can communicate with their Devi and she helps them take significant decisions. The villagers mutually decided that they won’t indulge in the practice of animal sacrifice anymore. The residents of Gudiyapar unanimously decided to put a stop to this traditional practice of animal sacrifice. Approval was granted instantly. As soon as permission was received, the members of the Gond community offered arrows and arrows to the goddess. Shankar Barse of the Gond community living in Gudiyapadar says that even though it sounds fictitious, we tribal families believe that we can talk to our goddess and can only initiate any work after taking her permission.
This decision taken by the government in the interest of tribal families is a unique example that has been set up by the state. Chhattisgarh has become the second state in the country to give CFFR rights.
Earlier this right has been recognized in Odisha. Gudiyapadar is a small village of about 29 houses located inside the Kanger Valley National Park. The people living here belong to the Gond community and depend on rainfed farming (rice, kodo-kutki, pulses and bananas) and minor forest produce for subsistence.
The objective of Community Forest Resource Rights (CFRR):
Many tribal families have been living in the villages under protected forest areas for almost a century. Hunting wild animals is a part of our ancestor’s practice. Due to continuous hunting, many animals have reached the verge of extinction.
The main purpose of the CFRR recognition is to protect the forests only through those people who have been protecting that area for a long time. Therefore, the right of management should also be given to the native residents. This will help in saving animals and conserving water, and forests.
It will also benefit the tribal communities living in the forest
After the CFRR recognition, the tribal community living in Gudiyapadar village will also be benefited. These rights will enable them to stop the external encroachment. The hunting of animals will come to an end which will boost eco-tourism, increase employment, and also strengthen their economic condition. Later, they will also be considered for giving them farming rights in a limited area.
Pahari Myna's chirping will be heard in Kanger Valley
Kanger Valley National Park is famous for hill myna. The falling number of these species had put them on the verge of extinction. But now these tribal families will be prepared as 'Mayna Warriors' ,these warriors will ensure nesting sites, food availability, and favorable mating conditions for Mynas. So that they can be saved from extinction.

Tears rolled down Makdali's eyes as she held the statue of her martyr husband
It is a proud moment for all of us that Chief Minister has himself come all the way to honour the memories of Jheeram Valley martyrs, on the occasion of Martyr's Day, said Makdali
The bitter memories of naxal attack at Jheeram Valley on May 25, 2013 still haunt the minds of people in the state, especially the family members of the martyrs. Today on the occasion of Jheeram Martyr Memorial Day, Chief Minister came all the way to inaugurate Jheeram Memorial in Jagdalpur. Family members of the martyrs were overwhelmed with emotions to have Chief Minister amidst them on this important occasion. Makdali’s husband was martyred in the Jheeram attack. When she saw the statue of her husband, she was overwhelmed with emotions. She held the statue of her husband and started crying. Makdali said that her husband has sacrificed his life for the nation. Government has established the memorial to honour the memories of her husband and other martyrs. It is an extremely emotional moment for all of us and it is a great assurance to have Chief Minister with them in this moment, said Makdali. She thanked Chief Minister saying that the government has always taken care of the families of the martyrs. Her son has been given compassionate appointment in PWD.
Referring to the Jheeram attack, Makdali told that on the fateful day, when she reached home from the market, her daughter was in front of the TV. She was in tears when she told her that there was an attack in Jheeram and her father was martyred. We still shudder to remember that moment, said Makdali. This memorial built in the honour of the martyrs of Jheeram attack will remind the coming generations of their sacrifices for years to come.
