Savitha seeks ‘Arogya Bala Ayur Andhra' project
The proposed project focuses on providing herbal nutritional supplements to adolescent boys and girls in hostels, particularly in districts affected by malnutrition. These supplements, made from Ayurvedic herbs such as Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Brahmi, Tulsi, and Shankh Pushpi, are designed to be FSSAI-compliant and will be integrated into existing meal plans with a scientific approach.
Minister Savitha said the primary goals of the initiative are to address nutritional deficiencies, boost immunity, enhance mental development, improve concentration, and promote a health culture rooted in Ayurveda among hostel students. She added that the project aligns with the vision of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's Ayur Andhra strategy and marks a significant step toward introducing Ayurvedic nutrition into welfare hostels. The Union minister appreciated the proposal and assured all necessary support and consideration for its implementation.

PGI under fire: Rs 20cr grant lapses amid urgent equipment needs
Chandigarh: The PGI is facing intense scrutiny after a substantial grant-in-aid of Rs 20 crore from the Union ministry of health and family welfare went unutilised and subsequently lapsed this year. This revelation contradicts the institute's repeated appeals to the ministry for high-cost MRI and CT scan machines crucial for its upcoming medical centre. The unspent funds came to light during a recent Standing Finance Committee (SFC) meeting, headed by the health secretary, where PGI's budget of Rs 2,400 crore for 2025-26 was approved. This included Rs 1,450 crore under the salary head, Rs 550 crore under general grants, and the remaining for assets. It was found that out of Rs 550 crore for the general grant, Rs 20 crore was not utilised. Despite repeated attempts to obtain an official version of events from PGI authorities, there was no response. "So necessary corrections need to be done," a source quoted the SFC as saying, highlighting the ministry's displeasure over the lapsed grant. The lapse is particularly perplexing given PGI's pressing need for advanced diagnostic equipment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tired of Your 2BHK Looking the Same? HomeLane Get Quote Undo Sources indicate that several expensive machines, including a Biplane DSA and a dual-energy CT scanner, earmarked for the upcoming advanced neuroscience centre, were rejected by the Union ministry. A senior official, speaking on condition of anonymity, questioned PGI's financial management: "How can the officials ask for expensive machines when good quality ones at lower rates are available? Also, it does not make sense when the PGI is not utilising the approved budget." The incident has raised serious concerns about PGI's financial oversight and its ability to effectively manage and utilise allocated funds, especially when critical equipment shortages persist and impact patient care and research capabilities.
