Dharam Singh Foundation to provide 2.5 acres of land to the Govt. for free
Congress leader and Opposition Chief Whip in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly Ajay Singh has said that a 100-bed mother and children hospital will shortly come up at Katti Sangavi village, about 1.5 km from Jewargi town in Kalaburagi district.
Addressing a media conference at his residence here on Saturday, Mr. Singh said Dharam Singh Foundation would provide 2.5 acres of land for free to the Government to construct the hospital, which would be named after his father, late N. Dharam Singh, former Chief Minister.
“It is one of the steps that we are taking to realise my father’s tradition to serve the people. The Dharma Singh Foundation is giving 2.5 acres of land for free to the Government of Karnataka to build and operate the hospital which would be named after my father. The foundation would hand over the land to the Government on December 25 at a simple programme,” Mr. Singh said.

The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
