Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Saturday said ₹470 crore has been spent on Hamirpur Medical College while ₹85 crore has been sanctioned for a state-of-the-art cancer institute.
Sukhu laid the foundation stone of the proposed Economic Development and Livelihood Generation Project (Navjeevan) to be constructed at a cost of ₹4 crore in Hareta of Nadaun Assembly Constituency of Hamirpur.
He also announced the opening of a new Patwar Circle in Hareta in addition to building a new Panchayat House.
Under the Navjeevan project, a children Park, walking trail, yoga facility, cafeteria, watch tower and other facilities including three cottages will be constructed.
The construction of this project will promote eco-tourism in the area, which will also provide employment opportunities to the local residents and increase their income, a statement issued here said.
The chief minister said the Hareta area of Nadaun has been selected for the park because of its densest forest.
He added that double-lane roads are being constructed in the entire Hamirpur.
A total of ₹1,500 crore has been sanctioned to install high-tech machines in health institutions. With high-tech machines, the diseases would be diagnosed accurately and people would get cheap and better treatment at their doorsteps, he said.
A PET scan machine will be installed in IGMC Shimla for ₹27 crore and the state government is going to install '3-Tesla MRI Machines' in Medical College Tanda, Medical College Hamirpur, Atal Institute of Medical Super Specialties Chamiyana, Medical College Nerchowk and IGMC Shimla.
