The new OPD block at the RUHSA symbolises an outstanding presence in wholistic development of the local community.
The school drops outs and those who completed the schooling from the local villages receive training at the community college in the campus in different trades and skills that, the unemployment of adolescent boys and girls seems to have declined to about twenty percent, something unusual for any village.
I met a few of those young people in training, who mentioned to me that they are able to earn a living even while studying, as their practical skills help them to be employed in the evening hours!
It was Dr. Daleep Mukherji, who conceived in 19975 the idea of a wholistic development model for a community, in which he included rural development, education and health as the essentials in any community development programme. Dr. Rita, the current head of the department actively pursues that mission!
