Bhopal, March 5: On his birthday, Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan made two landmark announcements for his Vidisha parliamentary constituency. Amidst a family tree-planting drive, Chouhan emphasized environmental conservation, calling trees not just wooden structures but homes for millions of creatures and oxygen factories for humanity.
The former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister unveiled plans for ‘Mama Coaching’ classes targeted at underprivileged yet talented children in Vidisha, Raisen, and Bhairunda. ‘No child’s future should be hindered by financial constraints,’ he declared. These free coaching centers aim to empower poor students to become civil servants and professionals.
In a heartfelt tribute to parents, Chouhan introduced the ‘Prem-Sundar Talent Award’ for meritorious students, complete with cash prizes for top performers. He also pledged enhanced facilities for differently-abled individuals, including motorized battery bicycles to replace hand-cranked ones, enabling them to commute and pursue livelihoods independently.
Addressing healthcare gaps in remote areas, Chouhan announced the launch of ‘Mama Mobile Hospital.’ These state-of-the-art mobile clinics will traverse all eight assembly segments of Vidisha, reaching villages and hamlets. Equipped with doctors, modern diagnostic tools like ECG and blood tests, essential medicines, and medical staff, the vans will provide free treatment at doorsteps.
Chouhan detailed that each mobile clinic would serve clusters of 5 to 10 villages, offering on-spot check-ups, immediate care for minor ailments, and referrals for serious cases. This initiative fulfills a long-standing commitment to bring quality healthcare to the farthest corners, ensuring no one is left behind in the pursuit of wellness and progress.
