Challenges Discussed:

Administrative Support and Collaboration:
The Chief Development Officer, Shri Jayendra Kumar (IAS), acknowledged the challenges faced by organizations like Swabhiman Samiti and assured that the district administration would extend its full support in resolving these issues. He promised to look into the request for the ultrasound machine and facilitate necessary steps to enhance healthcare infrastructure in the region.

Conclusion:
The meeting served as a platform for local organizations, including Swabhiman Samiti, to discuss their contributions to district development and the challenges they face. It also marked an important step in strengthening collaboration between the administration and civil society organizations. The request for medical equipment, specifically the ultrasound machine for CHC Uska Bazar, is expected to significantly improve healthcare delivery, especially for women and children in the area.
