Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao announced in the Legislative Assembly that the state government will soon establish ‘Palle Dawakhanas’ (village hospitals) in all villages on the lines of ‘Basti Dawakhanas’ in the city.

Rao said that the Palle Dawakhanas would be provided with a doctor, a nurse and an attender and people can avail diagnosis and treatment for minor ailments and essential medicines free of cost.

Replying to a short discussion on ‘Palle Pragathi-Patta Pragathi schemes’ in the House, he said that both the schemes of the TRS government had transformed villages and towns. A remarkable improvement was being seen in cleanliness, sanitation, greenery and civic infrastructure.

He said Telangana topped the country in utilisation of NREGA funds with which the state government constructed a vaikunta dhamam, dumping yard, rythu vedika, rythu kallam (used to dry the harvest), and a nursery in every village as part of palle pragathi due to which all villages have turned clean and green.
