‘HP witnesses revolution in education, health’

Shimla – While addressing a public meeting at Dargi in Chalahal Gram Panchayat of Shimla Rural constituency today, Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh  said  that progress and prosperity could not be achieved by a society which was not educated enough and keeping this in view he personally had accorded special attention to this vital sector. To ensure higher education to the students at their door steps, especially the girl child more than 16,000 schools and 136 degree colleges have been opened in rural and far flung areas of the State, which had helped in increasing the literacy percentage to 88 percent as of now and taking the Himachal amongst top ranked states of the country in higher education.

Similarly, with a motive to ensure specialized health services to people, more than 230 health institutes had been opened or upgraded during the present  regime.  Not only this, a super specialty block of IGMC to cost Rs. 290 crores was coming up at Chamiyana.  I want the health infrastructure to be strengthened in rural areas said Chief Minister adding that my government was committed to provide best medical facilities to the people near to their homes..
