Celebrating his birthday with purpose, Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan planted trees alongside family members before unveiling transformative welfare schemes for Vidisha. He passionately advocated for afforestation to combat rising temperatures, describing trees as vital ecosystems sustaining life and producing life-giving oxygen.
A major highlight was the introduction of ‘Mama Coaching’ – complimentary classes for bright kids from low-income families across Vidisha, Raisen, and Bhairunda. Chouhan assured that monetary barriers would no longer block dreams of government jobs or higher education, fostering a new generation of officers from humble backgrounds.
Honoring parental legacy, the ‘Prem-Sundar Pratibha Samman’ will reward academic toppers with financial incentives. For the differently-abled, upgraded support includes battery-powered motorized cycles, freeing them from manual pedaling and opening doors to employment opportunities.
Healthcare innovation took center stage with ‘Mama Chalit Hospital’ – eight mobile medical units dedicated to Vidisha’s assembly constituencies. These vans, stocked with doctors, compounders, diagnostic equipment, and drugs, will park in remote locales, drawing villagers for convenient screenings and treatments.
From ECG tests to blood work and instant remedies for common illnesses, the clinics promise comprehensive doorstep services. Chouhan envisioned them as lifelines, reducing travel burdens and ensuring timely interventions, referrals where needed, and equitable access to health for every resident.
