Gram Seva is our key program in this direction, wherein we have partnered with grassroots NGOs like Gram Vikas to bring holistic development to remote villages across the country. Today, I have flagged off the mobile medical unit, which will cater to the primary healthcare needs of remote rural communities in the Kalahandi district.”
Liby Johnson, Executive Director of Gram Vikas, highlighted, “This initiative will benefit rural communities residing in the distant and remote areas of the district by addressing their primary healthcare needs regularly.”
