हर केंद्रो को कंप्यूटर-फर्नीचर व उपकरणों के लिए 3.30 लाख रुपए दिए जाएंगे।
नए दवा वितरण केन्द्रो में प्रत्येक के लिए 3.30 लाख रुपए निर्माण कार्यो के लिए होंगे , जबकि 1.30 लाख रुपए कंप्यूटर, फर्नीचर और अन्य उपकरण खरीदने के लिए मंजूर किये गए है। ऐसे में पुरे प्रदेश में 4.82 करोड़ रुपए की वित्तीय स्वीकृति दी गई है। उदयपुर के लिए 69.30 लाख रुपए मिलेंगे।

औसत 12 लाख रोगी को हर साल मिलेगी राहत।
महाराणा भूपाल राजकीय चिकित्सालय संभाग का सबसे बड़ा हॉस्पिटल है। यंहा उदयपुर, प्रतापगढ़ , चित्तौडग़ढ़ ,राजसमंद, डूंगरपुर, बांसवाड़ा, समेत पडोसी राज्य गुजरात और मध्यप्रदेश से हर साल औसत 12 लाख मरीज इलाज करवाने आते है। इस वजह से यहाँ का दवा वितरण केंद्रो पर भी मरीजों की भीड़ लगी रहती है। कही बार मरीजों को दवा के लिए घंटो लाइनों में खड़ा रहना पड़ता है। नए केन्द्रो की शुरुआत और स्टाफ बढ़ने से मरीज़ो और तीमारदारों को दवाई के लिए भटकने जरुरत नहीं होगी।

एमबी जैसी व्यवस्था को पुरे प्रदेश में लागू करने को कहा था सीएम ने।
उदयपुर के एमबी अस्पतालों की व्यवस्थाओ जैसा मॉडल पुरे प्रदेश में लागू होगा। जोधपुर के डॉ. एसएन मेडिकल कॉलेज की 13 सदस्यीय टीम उदयपुर पहुंची और आरएनटी मेडिकल कॉलेज के एमबी अस्पताल का निरिक्षण किया। टीम ने वार्डो, दवा वितरण केंद्र आदि की प्रणाली देखी और चर्चा की। सीएम अशोक गहलोत पिछले दिनों उदयपुर आए थे तब उन्होंने एमबी में भर्ती मरीज़ो व तीमारदारों से सुविधाओं और योजनाओं पर बात की थी। बाद में सीएम ने ऐसी व्यवस्था पुरे प्रदेश में लागु करने को कहा।

कंपनी करेगी कम समय में मशीनें ठीक।
आरएनटी मेडिकल कॉलेज में अब यदि कोई भी चिकित्सालय उपकरण ख़राब होता है तो जल्द से जल्द ठीक हो जाएगा। राज्य सरकार के स्तर पर मुख्यमंत्री बजट घोषणा के अनुरूप केटीपीएल कंपनी को सरकार के स्तर पर यह कार्य सौंपा गया है। ये शुरुआत इसलिए की गई है ताकि अलग-अलग कंपनियों के माध्यम से अलग अलग मशीनों को ठीक करने में कई महीने लग जाते थे। ऐसे में मरीजों का उपचार प्रभावित होता था अब एकमात्र कंपनी यह कार्य करेगी तो काम समय में जल्द से जल्द ये तकीनीकी उपकरण ठीक हो सकेंगे।

मुख्यमंत्री बजट घोषणा के अनुरूप सरकार ने एक ही कंपनी को सौंपा काम।
आरएनटी मेडिकल कॉलेज सम्बन्ध पांचो हॉस्पिटलों में 341 तरह कई 5387 उपकरण है,इनम से किसी के भी बिगड़ने पर भी ठीक किया जा सकेगा। इसमें एक्स -रे, सिटी- स्कैन, एमआरआई, वेंटीलेटर सहित अन्य उपकरण शामिल है। इसमें हाइड्रोक्लोरिक बेड व अन्य छोटे मोटे उपकरण शामिल नहीं किये गए।

ख़ास बात यह है की नए उपकरण है जो जहाँ से खरीदे गए है, वहां से तय समय तक गारंटी – वारंटी पीरियड में है। लेकिन जैसे ही तय अनुबंध समय पूर्ण होगा तो उनके बिगड़ने पर ठीक करने का काम केटीपीएल का होगा। कई कई महीनों तक उपकरण ठीक नहीं होने से मरीजों को अन्य प्राइवेट हॉस्पिटलों की और दौड़ना पड़ता था और ऊँचे दाम देकर अपना इलाज करवाना पड़ता था।

यह निर्णय राज्य सरकार के स्तर पर लिया गया है, ताकि किसी भी प्रकार के उपकरण की खराबी पर ज्यादा दिन तक मरीजों को परेशान नहीं होना पड़े। पहले अलग – अलग कम्पनियों के कारण कई प्रकार की परेशानी आती थी। कई कई महीनो तक इंजीनियर्स नहीं पहुंचे थे ,लेकिन इस निर्णय का लाभ ये होगा की कोई भी उपकरण यदि बिगड़ता है तो हमें केवल कंपनी में बात करनी है, वह कंपनी अपने स्तर पर जल्द से जल्द इंजीनियर्स उपलब्ध करवाएगी।

पर्यावरण को बचाने का एक अनोखा प्रयास है “वर्टीकल गार्डन”

भीलवाड़ा शहर में एक कॉलोनी ऐसी है जहाँ इतने पेड़ -पौधे लगाए गए है की सडको के अलावा खाली जमीन नहीं बची। पर्यावरण के प्रति जागरूक यहाँ के लोग अब “वर्टीकल गार्डन” विकसित कर रहे है। इसकी शुरुआत लोगो ने अपने मकानों की चारदीवारों से ही की है। उसके बाद 20 फिट ऊँचे गेट को भी उद्यान की शक्ल दे दी है। गेट की ऊंचाई पर तीन सो से ज्यादा गमले लगाए गए है।
हरनी महादेव रोड स्थित कुमुदविहार की पहचान अब “ग्रीन कॉलोनी” के रूप में होने लगी है।
इतने पेड़ लगाए जाने पर एक टीम द्वारा चेक किया तो कॉलोनी के बाहर का पारा 42.7 डिग्री और कॉलोनी के अंदर का तापमान 38 डिग्री था।

जानिए क्या है वर्टीकल गार्डन –

यह नई शैली का एक बगीचा है,जिसे दीवारों पर लंबवत रूप में बनाया जाता है। यह न केवल आपके घर के आकर्षक का केंद्र है बल्कि पर्यायवरण के लिए प्राकृतिक शुद्ध हवा भी प्रदान करता है। यह ना सिर्फ आपके घर को अधिक खूबसूरत बनाते हैं, बल्कि घर के भीतर की हवा को नेचुरली प्यूरिफाई भी करते हैं।
वर्टिकल गार्डन एक ऐसी तकनीक है जिसका उपयोग लंबे समय तक वर्टिकल पैनल पर पौधों को उगाने के लिए किया जाता है। वर्टिकल गार्डन घर को तरोताजा और हवा को शुद्ध करने के साथ-साथ आवश्यक पोषण भी प्रदान करते है।गर्मियों में, आउटडोर वर्टिकल गार्डन एक ऐसी प्रक्रिया का उपयोग करते हैं जिसे वाष्पीकरण कहा जाता है, जो अपने चारों ओर हवा को ठंडा करने में मदद करता है।कई इमारतों में उनके बाहरी हिस्सों पर वर्टिकल गार्डन बनाने से इमारतों के तापमान में उतार-चढ़ाव, यूवी विकिरण, भारी बारिश से सुरक्षा और इन्सुलेशन प्रदान करते हैं

अब तक तो यह शुरुआत सिर्फ भीलवाड़ा ने ही की है, आगे दुनिया भर में इसकी शुरुआत करके हर शहर अपने शहर को ” ग्रीन शहर” के रूप में बना सकता है। हर कॉलोनी अपनी कॉलोनी को “ग्रीन कॉलोनी ” बना सकती है। हर घर में अगर इस प्रकार की शुरआत हो गई तो ये हमे गर्मियो से तो राहत देगा ही साथ ही साथ पर्यावरण को लेकर एक अनूठा प्रयास भी होगा।

Weather In Udaipur: Monthly Temperature, Climate and Prevailing Seasons

Weather in Udaipur

Planning a trip to Udaipur, but still sceptical about its weather situation? Well, Worry no more. Let’s walk you through the climate and the most prevalent seasons of this wonderful oasis in the desert.

Introduction:

The royal city Udaipur is located in Rajasthan, which is India’s renowned desert state. Hence, it might surprise you that this city has yearly monsoons, and the main reason behind this is the Aravalli Range. The southern edge of the Aravalli Range separates the city from the Thar Desert. Therefore, it has semi-arid weather rather than a severe desert climate. This also means that, while May and early June are hot, the city is spared from the impact of the summer heat as compared to other cities across the state. Because of its desert location, the monsoons here are not that rainy and humid as compared to other Indian territories.

Here’s all you need to know about Udaipur’s weather, including monthly temperatures, so you can plan your vacation accordingly. Before that let us give you quick temperature facts about this city.

Quick temperature facts:

Hottest Months: May, June (H- 38˚C and L- 27˚C)

Women had a minor role in Indian history, however, this is not the case when we look at the history of the Mewar Kingdom of Udaipur. Saheliyon Ki Bari is one of the few places in India’s history where a special location is dedicated to women. The Garden of Maidens, located in the Udaipur district of Rajasthan, is a splendid natural wonder whose beauty has been meticulously crafted. Beautifully carved marble pavilions, poolside kiosks, a lotus pond, and rain fountains abound in the park.

The Crystal Gallery, which houses unique crystals ordered from England by Maharana Sajjan Singh in 1877, is a must-see for all those Museum-lovers out there. According to the legend, the crystals were kept in their original boxes for over a century because the Maharana died before his shipment reached, and the packages were left overlooked.

These kinds of tales and stories may be found almost anywhere you go in Udaipur.

470th Foundation Day of Udaipur

470th Udaipur Foundation Day

Congratulations to every Udaipurite, our city turns 470 today. The city celebrates its foundation day on every Akshay Tritiya every year. We just can’t get over the fact that the city is so old yet so unique and still the same.

Udaipur’s culture mirrors its heritage. We celebrate every birthday of our loved ones with full enthusiasm. So how can we let go of our dearest city so easily? So, on that note let us know this city’s history and about it even better on the 470th foundation day.

Walking around in the more than 400 years old city is an ecstatic feeling. Lakhs of people have come and gone but this city is intact. There is something magical in the place. You can try as hard as you can to not fall in love with this city but eventually, you will.

History

Travelling back in time is always fun. And getting to know about the place where we come from is something special. Udaipur was founded in 1553 by Maharana Udai Singh II. After his citadel, Chittorgarh was captured by Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1567. In 1818, Udaipur was the princely state of British India.

Udaipur was a very safe place for the people because of its natural defender, the Aravali hills. And therefore Udaipur remained safe from the Mughal influence. Udaipur was always built keeping one fact in mind and that is to have utmost security.

To protect the city and the people from external attacks. So for that matter, the city was built with thick 6-km long walls.

And now they are namely known as:

  • Suraj Pole
  • Chand Pole
  • Udai Pole (Udiapole)
  • Hathi Pole
  • Amba Pole
  • Brahm Pole
  • Delhi Gate

Now, we recognise the area within these gates as old city.

Now it’s time to reveal some interesting facts about Udaipur.

Everybody knows the Jungle Book right. But did you know that Bagheera the Black Panther, a character, belonged to a place called ‘Oodeypore’ that was taken from the name of our city ‘Udaipur’? If you pronounce both the words, the resultant will be quite similar.

Fascinating right?

The Udaipur Solar Observatory (USO) is considered one of the best solar observatories in Asia as the air turbulence is low in the water as compared to the land. And the favourable sky conditions of the city make it easy to study the movements of the Sun.

You have heard about Jaisamand lake, right? But did you know that it is the second-largest man-made lake in Asia? The dam constructed on this lake also houses a centrally located Shiva temple. The summer palace of the Queen of Udaipur forms a perfect backdrop to the Lake.

Now that we have enjoyed the celebrations of Udaipur’s birthday. It is time for the gift. Yes, you read it right. As a true Udaipurite and to show love to the city we can pledge to do one thing without even hustling much.

And the thing is that we should always take pride in our culture. There should be something that always keeps us attached to our roots. We can try our best to preserve our heritage.

Our future generations also have the right to know about the stories and take a stroll in the past. Like come on, we want people to celebrate the 1000th foundation day of Udaipur and still enjoy the royalty and elegance of the city.

In the end, if Udaipur were a person, we would definitely wish it a very Happy Birthday!
