Dharwad: Until recently, the Primary Health Center Annigeri (PHC), which has now been designated as the Taluk headquarters, is a paradise for anti-social elements that use weed-filled yards for various evil activities.
Furthermore, weed proliferation provides protection for open defecation, which results in the area around the PHC Building to be a cesspit and mosquito maintenance.
However, an advanced-minded IAS officer who served his trial period as head of Annigeri Town Pancayat (TP) officer decided to change this unpleasant state.
The state of PHC disappointed Madhav Gitte during the Taluk tour, and the young bureaucrat decided to clean up the entire campus.
Gitte starts working to clean the ground to ensure that the atmosphere of the PHC converts to visit patients.
After weeds are removed and the trees that grow haphazardly cut down, 65 red soil tractors are used to raise the ground.
Company Krn, a private company that built roads in the Dharwad district, contributed funds to exercise as part of the company’s social responsibility initiative (CSR).
“The reason PHC has become a toilet for many people, attracting pigs and other wild animals.
It has now been cleaned, people feel no hesitation in visiting the PHC,” Gitte told Toi.
The IAS officer also met with officials from the Ministry of Health, requested that the PHC well equipped.
PHC now has all the necessary facilities, and the atmosphere in such a way that personnel can be happy to carry out their duties.
