Between January 1, 2024, and June 16, 2025, as many as 130 health institutions in the Bastar division have been certified under the National Quality Assurance Standards (NQAS). These include 1 district hospital, 16 Primary Health Centres (PHCs), and 113 Sub-Health Centres (SHCs).
The much-awaited facility has been made possible through the Chhattisgarh government's 'Niyad Nellanar' scheme, championed by Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, bringing hope and opportunity to the region's future generations.
The field hospital opened by the security forces under the 'Niyad Nellanar' scheme in Puvarti village, which is the native village of a Naxal leader Hidma, reduces the gap between locals and security forces.
