Union Minister of State for Road Transport and Highways and Civil Aviation Gen. (Dr) Vijay Kumar Singh has said that he is satisfied with the development works taken up in education, health and other sectors in Yadgir district as it is one among the 112 aspirational districts in the country identified by NITI Aayog.
He was addressing a review meeting in Yadgir on Monday.
Gen. Singh said that maternal and infant mortality rates have been drastically reduced in the district and it is a good sign. However, the district administration should focus more on how to tackle malnutrition and weight loss issues among children within the age of six, he advised.
Underlining the importance of having hygienic anganwadi centres, schools, toilets on school premises and health care centres in thickly populated areas, Gen. Singh said that officials should take government benefits, especially through health centres, to every village to ensure that basic health needs are provided to children to ensure their good health.
Meanwhile, he specifically directed the officials of National Highways Authority of India to take steps to identify black spots on National Highways to prevent road accidents.
While responding to the Union Minister, Deputy Commissioner R. Ragapriya told him that ₹11 crore was released in 2019 for Yadgir district under the aspirational district scheme. She told him that the grant was used to develop education, health, agriculture, women and child welfare and other sectors and also address existing problems in these sectors.
She gave details about 10 anganawdi centres coming up at a cost of ₹2.14 crore and also four model schools being taken up at a cost of ₹48.60 lakh. She said that action has been taken to distribute 500 tablets [electronic gadgets] to students.
When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
