47 primary health centres to be established in Kalyana Karnataka

To provide better health services in rural areas in seven districts of Kalyana Karnataka region, the State government will establish 47 new Primary Health Centres (PHCs) in the region, Kalyana Karnataka Region Development Board (KKRDB) chairman Ajay Singh has said.

Speaking to The Hindu in Kalaburagi on Wednesday, Dr. Singh said that the State government will establish the 47 PHCs against the required 69 PHCs in the region in the first phase. And, a sum of ₹4.04 crore has been allocated for each PHC, he added.

Recalling the contributions made by his father (the former Chief Minister late N. Dharam Singh) for the development of the region and the amendment (Article 371-J) brought to the Constitution, he said that “people have very high expectations of me (after he became chairman of KKRDB) and I will work honestly and efficiently for the overall development of the region.”
