ASAKTHA
POSHAKA SABHA PLATINUM JUBILEE COMMEMORATIVE BLOCKS
The
then Ladies / Gents Dormitories and Administrative Blocks were
dismantled and new Platinum Jubilee Blocks together with Bathing
Centre have been constructed at a cost of 87 lakhs which can comfortably
accommodate 175 aged destitutes and 50 orphan children.
Late Sri G. M.C. Balayogi, Hon'ble Speaker,
Loksabha Inaugurated P.J. Blocks on 17-1-99 in the presence
of a distinguished gathering. The Bathing center with hot water
facilities with over 10 rooms has been commissioned.
MODERN
SICK BLOCKS FOR MEN AND WOMEN
It
is a fact that most of the Inmates are aged between 60 to 90 years
and the average age may be taken as 72 years as a result of which
at least 50 of the Inmates are always sick and require constant
medical treatment and nursing care. We have thought it fit to
construct two separate dedicated Blocks for men and Women with
a Nurse's station estimated to cost 30 lakhs to take care of the
sick with furniture specially designed for the purpose whose estimated
cost is around 4 lakhs. Each Block can accommodate 18 sick residents
to give constant medical attention and nursing care. It is gratifying
to note that philanthropic NRI's Shri Shivakumar Prabhat and Dr.
Srinivasa prasad from U.S.A. have each contributed Rs. Ten lakhs
for the two Blocks.
SPECIAL
HOSPICE
We
have constructed a special Hospice estimated to cost 4 lakhs with
2 separate wards for two men and two women to take care of the
terminally ill. Each ward has an independent bathroom and we propose
to put one attendant to look after the Hospice. It is gratifying
to note that Shri. S. Suryanarayana Setty, our Vice President
and Engineer has already donated Rs. 2 lakhs for this project.
