In a significant push towards strengthening healthcare delivery and rural infrastructure, RS Bali, Chairman of the Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (with Cabinet rank), reaffirmed the state government’s unwavering commitment to providing accessible and high-quality medical services across the state. Speaking at the Nurses Week celebration held at Dr. Rajendra Prasad Medical College, Bali emphasized the indispensable role of nursing professionals in the healthcare ecosystem, describing them as the backbone of any medical institution.
The event was attended by senior medical administrators and hundreds of nurses and trainees, who were lauded for their dedication, compassion, and the critical support they provide in bridging the gap between patients and doctors. Bali highlighted that the government has already set up model healthcare institutes in nearly 50 assembly constituencies, each staffed with six specialist doctors, and this initiative will continue in a phased manner across all constituencies.
He noted that strengthening healthcare institutions with well-trained nursing staff and advanced medical equipment is a key priority for the state. These investments, he asserted, will ensure that patients no longer need to travel to other states for quality treatment, as Himachal’s own facilities will be equipped to deliver world-class care. Bali also underlined the government’s ongoing efforts to improve infrastructure in hospitals and community health centers, ensuring a patient-first approach rooted in both technological advancement and human empathy.
Beyond healthcare, Bali’s visit to the region also included key announcements that addressed vital transportation and water needs of rural communities. In Kaleid, he flagged off a newly approved 18-seater public transport bus that will serve nearly a dozen villages across various panchayats. The route, which will connect Tang to 53 Mile via Ramad and Paud Kholi, is expected to significantly ease local commute challenges, particularly for students, elderly citizens, and daily wage workers. On the same occasion, Bali issued directives to expedite the construction of a toilet facility in the local school, reinforcing his administration’s focus on basic yet essential amenities.
In Rajiyana village, Bali inaugurated a newly installed tube well, a long-awaited facility for the community. The project, completed at a cost of ₹13.5 lakh, is set to benefit four nearby villages, addressing the persistent issue of water scarcity that had plagued the residents for years. The launch of this water facility also came with future assurances, as Bali instructed officials to take up the construction of an overhead water tank, a pump system, and the improvement of rural access roads in the area.
The presence of key officials such as RTO Manish Soni, BDO Latika, Executive Engineer Rajeev Sharma, and local leaders including BDC Chairperson Anjana Kumari and village representatives further underscored the government’s holistic approach to inclusive development. Their active engagement with villagers during the event illustrated a governance model grounded in dialogue, accountability, and action.
These multifaceted efforts, spanning health, transportation, and basic utilities, reflect the state government’s clear roadmap for integrated rural development. Under the leadership of proactive officials like RS Bali, Himachal Pradesh continues to move steadily towards a future where robust infrastructure and dignified public services form the foundation of every village and town.
