Srinagar, September 01 – Minister for Health and Medical Education Mangat Ram Sharma today informed the Legislative Council that the department received Rs.5.98 crore for purchase of different Drug Kits under NRHM which also includes ASHA Drug Kits. He said orders for purchase of all the prescribed drug kits were placed with Central PSU in March 2007.

He said 30 drivers have been engaged on voluntarily basis in the Health Department of district Baramulla on the recommendations of the MLAs and MLCs during the last three years. These drivers are being paid from Hospital Development Fund. The reply was followed in supplementaries by Ms. Sakina Itoo, Prof. Bhim Singh and Mr. Nazim-ud-Din Bhat.
In reply to another question by Mr. Ashok Kumar Sharma, Mr. Mangat Ram said that the government has referred 18,981 posts to PSC, SSRB and district level recruiting agencies during the last 5 years, out of which PSC has made recommendations for 1,912 candidates and SSRB of 5,976 candidates for their selection to various departments under various categories so far.
