BETTER USE OF NIRAMAYA HEALTH SCHEME

Dear All

Chetana works with need based services to its targeted  groups. It always looks for creation and innovation with better participation of the stakeholders. 

In the participative meets held with parents, it was felt to get support for the medical care of their children on priority basis. Tuning to this, Chetana did its best in getting the Health Cards for its Students by enrolling them under the NIRAMAYA Health Scheme of the National Trust, New Delhi and got the same fro 14 students.

Parallel to this, done another service of opening the Bank Accounts in SBI as the benefit of the above health scheme is going to be given in the form of cheque.

Later, facilitated for submitting the medical claims and majority of them are getting the benefit. It is significant to note that the utilization of the scheme is very good and at present some of the health issue of the children have been minimized. Now other parents whose children are coming to the school and others are showing interest to get the same cards. This is one innovation to get better acceptance from the children as well as from their parents/community members.    

Based on this experience, Chetana is looking forward to extend such facilities for more children covering both who are coming to the school and others not coming to the school.   

The parents or well wishers who are reading this message can disseminate for others so that the scheme gets publicity and better utilization.  

Looking forward ...

with thanks
