Governor Shri Mangubhai Patel has directed that medicines distributed by Mobile Medical Units must strictly follow the prescribed route chart. He emphasised that the quantity of medicines should be calculated based on each patient’s requirement and the expected return schedule of the unit, ensuring uninterrupted availability until the unit revisits the area.
The Governor issued these instructions during a review meeting of the PM Janman Yojana of the Tribal Cell, held at Lok Bhavan with senior officials of the Tribal Affairs Department. Chairman of the Tribal Cell, Shri Deepak Khandekar, and other members were also present.
Governor Patel also instructed that electricity connections must be ensured in all houses allotted to beneficiaries under the Janman scheme. He directed officials to compile house-wise data, identify units lacking electricity connections, and complete pending installations at the earliest.
During the meeting, officials informed that over 9.52 lakh patients have been registered through the Mobile Medical Units operating under the scheme, including 4,75,375 PVTG beneficiaries and 4,76,647 others. The units have conducted screening for 95,360 sickle-cell cases and 15,811 TB cases, along with diagnostic tests for more than seven lakh patients.
It was reported that the PM Janman Yojana—part of the PM Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan—is being implemented from 2023–24 to 2025–26 across 24 districts of Madhya Pradesh, benefiting over 13.43 lakh people across more than 6,000 PVTG habitations. Saturation has been achieved in seven beneficiary-linked schemes: Aadhaar, Jan Dhan bank accounts, Ayushman Bharat, caste certificates, Kisan Credit Cards, PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, and ration cards. A total of 1,30,521 PM Awas units have been completed.
The Madhya Pradesh Jal Nigam is currently operating 147 group water supply schemes. Under the PM Janman programme, work on two of the 48 designated schemes—Anuppur and Balaghat—has been completed. Six schemes in Datia, Katni, Seoni, and Umaria districts are near completion, while remaining works are progressing within scheduled timelines. Updates were also shared on tap-water supply, multipurpose centres, anganwadi construction, hostels, PM Gram Sadak, electricity connections (including off-grid), Van Dhan Vikas Kendras, and mobile network expansion.
