Raipur. Fulfilling Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai's commitment to good governance and upliftment of the poor, healthcare facilities are continuously expanding in remote, Naxal-affected areas of Sukma district. Under the guidance of the district administration and health department, 14 cataract patients in the district have been successfully treated, bringing new light to their lives.
Under the government's ambitious Niyyad Nellanar (Your Good Village) scheme, patients from remote, inaccessible areas like Mukarram, Patelpara, Sarpanchpara, and Kistaram in the Konta development block were identified through special health camps. The district administration arranged special vehicles to transport these 14 patients to Jagdalpur Medical College for better treatment, where they underwent successful operations.

Following the operation, all patients were safely transported from Jagargunda and Kistaram to Sukma District Hospital under the supervision of eye assistants. According to doctors, the patients will be kept under the supervision of specialists at the district hospital for the next four days for their recovery and better follow-up. The district administration has provided free accommodation and food for the patients during this period.

This effort by the Health Department and the district administration demonstrates that through the Niyada Nellanar scheme, government programs are no longer confined to paper, but are reaching the last person in remote forest areas directly. Patients who received health benefits have expressed their gratitude to the Chief Minister, Health Minister, and District Administration for this sensitive initiative.
