Govt to help NGOs in setting up New Delhi, July 16 To tide over the impending crisis, the Government of NCT of Delhi plans to collaborate with non-government organisations (NGOs) for setting up homoeopathic dispensaries and also approach the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) to add doctors qualifying the examination to its pool of personnel engaged in health services. To reach medicare to the deprived sections of society, the Government of NCT of Delhi will be collaborating with non-government organisations (NGOs) in setting up homoeopathic dispensaries in the Capital. Health Minister A.K. Walia informed the House 81 NGOs had applied under the Bhagidari (citizen-government partnership) Programme for financial aid. The Department of Health, he told the members, had earmarked the budgetary provisions to fund 10 NGOs after shortlisting from among the applicants. NGOs registered as a society and having at least three years’ experience and land for setting up dispensary are eligible. “The government will fund the project for the first five years after which the NGOs would be expected to generate enough resources to run their dispensaries on their own,” the minister said. The funding in the first year would be Rs 1.5 lakh from the government coffers. This contribution would reduce to Rs 20,000 by the end of five years. |

A major, the tournament offers a total purse of Rs 15 lakh. “I am looking forward to the Royal Springs Open”, said Randhawa. “I am 90 per cent fit at the moment and getting better every day.

Randhawa reached Srinagar two days ago, to give himself the opportunity to get acclimatised to the playing conditions.” The Royal Springs Open is the second Tour event to be staged at the Royal Springs Golf Course. The earlier event, the Sher-e-Kashmir Open, was held in Srinagar in October 2001, which was won by Mukesh Kumar. Randhawa had finished tied third with Jaiveer Virk of Delhi. “The golf course is in superb shape. It is a lot greener than it was when we last played here in October last year. Also there is a constant cloud cover and there is a lot of humidity in the air”, observed Randhawa. “I know Mukesh in good form and I feel there is a tough fight on the cards this week”, he added. Randhawa’s biggest challenge comes from Mukesh Kumar. He takes this game more seriously. |
