Andhra Pradesh: Complete construction of 37 YSR Health Clinics in tribal areas by September 15, ITDA officials told in Eluru district

Eluru District Collector V. Prasanna Venkatesh on Wednesday directed the Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA-K.R.Puram) authorities to complete construction of the 37 YSR Health clinics in the ITDA limits by September 15.

Addressing the officials during the ITDA Executive Council meeting held here, Mr. Venkatesh said that early completion of the construction activity of the YSR Health Clinics would provide more health facilities for the tribals in the Eluru district. 

A majority of the tribal pockets are falling in the submergence area of the Polavaram irrigation project across river Godavari. The Collector has warned the engineering officials against delay in completing the renovation of the government schools under the prestigious Nadu-Nedu scheme in the tribal pockets.
